The Human Spotify featuring John Rush
September 11

John Rush is called the Human Spotify because he has 2 huge request books that he passes out during his shows. People can pick songs they want John to play, write them down on little post-it notes, and then stick them all over the stage. In between songs, John reads off 3 or 4 requests and then based on which one the audience picks, he plays the next song. It really lets the audience get involved in the show and also makes sure he plays songs they really want to hear! It’s a fun and interactive show!
