11E1EVEN GROUP ANNOUNCES PHASE ONE ARTIST LINEUP OF
“LIVE FROM OUT THERE” VIRTUAL FESTIVAL
INCLUDES:
GOOSE, PIGEONS PLAYING PING PONG, TWIDDLE AND MORE
Last week, 11E1even Group, in conjunction with Nugs.tv and Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, announced their new digital content series, “Live From Out There.” The mission is simple – to provide viewers a constant flow of easily accessible, never before seen digital content in the coming months. Today, LFOT announced phase one of their concert subscription series where for a one-time six-week subscription purchase, fans will be provided over 100+ hours of content from Goose, Oteil Burbridge, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Twiddle and more. (Initial Lineup below).
WATCH GOOSE PERFORMING “JIVE II” AT T’S HOUSE 3/15/20
Live From Out There will provide a wide variety of content streaming to the comfort of your own home during this very unfortunate time. The series will include sets from artists’ homes and practice spaces, never before seen archival releases, masterclasses, cooking lessons, first-time collaborations and more. The current implications of COVID-19 will undoubtedly have an unprecedented impact on the live music community; while the safety of our roster, team and fan base is tantamount, we also believe the power of live music will serve as a healing force through uncertain times.
“I’m seeing this just like any curated channel,” said Ben Baruch, owner of 11E1even Group. “This is a crazy time for every single person and company, big or small…we’re all feeling it, so let’s figure out how to come together from the confines of our own home, stay positive, watch great content and raise money for those in need while doing so. I want music, comedy, cooking shows, infomercials, masterclasses and more. Who knows what other talents your favorite musicians may have and I’m excited to show it. We have been working on this nonstop for last week and very excited about what we have coming.”
Proceeds from each subscription will benefit Sweet Relief’s COVID-19 Fund, an organization using donor-directed funding to provide immediate assistance, lodging, clothing, food and more to the musicians and crew involved in the series as well as music industry workers and artists who have suffered a loss of income due to the recent outbreak and resulting restrictions placed on live events and gatherings.
Fender has graciously donated a Vintera 50’s Telecaster (Fiesta Red) & Vintera 50’s Precision Bass (Dakota Red) to Live From Out There and Sweet Relief Musicians Fund. Two winning subscribers will be picked at random and receive a new instrument to create their own magic with.
A schedule with times and a full list of artists will be released in the coming days.

With so much uncertainty around the live touring landscape, we have to come together and do everything we can to help artists and crew stay alive during this time,” says 11E1even Group’s Ben Baruch. “Our platform unlike most, is a paid platform, we aren’t shy to say that we are here to generate revenue for those in need while creating unique content for the fans week after week.

11E1EVEN GROUP AND LIVE FROM OUT THERE ANNOUNCE
“VIRTUAL SUMMER TOUR SERIES”
UNPRECEDENTED DIGITAL PLATFORM PROVIDES NEW WAYS FOR
BANDS AND FANS TO INTERACT
INCLUDES:
PIGEONS PLAYING PING PONG, GOOSE, TWIDDLE AND MORE
11E1even Group and Live From Out There have announced the initial schedule for their new “Virtual Summer Tour Series.” The mission of the summer series is to provide fans with original live music content while recreating various aspects of the concert experience on a digital platform. Today, Live From Out There announced performances by Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Goose, Twiddle, Kitchen Dwellers, Aqueous, and Sunsquabi, with more artists and tours to be announced.
The multi-night virtual events will take place over the course of the summer, providing fans a chance to experience and interact with each band like never before. Each band will curate their own unique tour concept, merchandise and virtual VIP experience which could include having a drink with the band, a post-show “green room” meet-and-greet or a private dinner with the band. The “Virtual Summer Tour Series” goes beyond live performances — it aims to replicate the intrinsic sense of community concert-goers experience when attending shows in-person by providing outlets for fans to interact with the band and each other.
“With all of the uncertainty surrounding public gatherings, we look forward to providing artists with a new model for connecting with their fans in a digital space,” says Dave DiCianni of 11E1even Group. “Despite not being able to physically be in the same room, there’s a huge opportunity for artists to engage their fanbase in a truly unique and more intimate fashion than ever before, and we are excited to work with band’s in curating those experiences. Additionally, the series will provide acts and their respective crews with much needed revenue while the music industry works to determine new ways to safely host live events. “
Each act will have a different theme around their tour.
Twiddle’s Roots Tour, a celebration of the bands fifteen years as a touring act, will pay homage to several establishments that were instrumental in the band’s ascendance to the national stage. The nine original concerts will be filmed at various venues throughout the state of Vermont, including a return to Castleton University, where the band formed in 2005.
Following the postponement of Pigeons Playing Ping Pong’s annual festival Domefest, the band will bring their fans together for “Homefest” a uniquely curated 3-night event including 5 sets from Pigeons Playing Ping Pong with other acts to be announced.
Goose will host “Summer 2020 Bingo Tour” from June 19 to June 28 live at The Goose Community Rec Center. Fans will receive digital bingo boards filled with the band’s songs and cover material. The band’s performances will be dictated by bingo balls drawn on stage as fans at home can play along for a chance to win virtual VIP opportunities and merchandise.
More information on each band’s event and tickets can be found HERE.

Sister Hearts Re-Entry Program provides ex-offenders with a safe environment to heal, achieve goals, and reintegrate into society through personal development courses, transportation, driver’s license support and other integral resources. The Center for Life Without Parole Studies aims to eliminate life without parole sentences and sentences that exceed the human lifespan while helping California prisoners with low-cost and pro-bono legal services.
Tickets are available today at PrisonMusicProject.com and at LivexLive.
From June 1-12, fans can also tune in for free to Righteous Babe Radio for Prison Prism: Refracting Out from the Prison Music Project, a radio festival dedicated to discussions about our criminal justice system. Concentrated programming will look at the history of American prisons through the cultural lens of Woody Guthrie and Alan Lomax and the modern-day realities of mass incarceration during COVID-19 era through the lens of a Bernie Sanders-led town hall entitled Incarceration in Crisis. We will hear from public figures such as Angela Davis and Howard Zehr about their experiences with the alternative methodology known as Restorative Justice. The Prison Prism will also provide a platform for organizations that sponsor arts and education programs in prisons today, the very kind of organization that made this record, this radio festival, and this virtual concert possible.
PRISON MUSIC PROJECT
In 2010, folk-singer and songwriter Zoe Boekbinder (they/them) visited New Folsom Prison for the first time. What they thought would be one interesting day turned into a decade-long collaborative project. Boekbinder visited the prison often over the next five years; performing and teaching music workshops quickly turned into the beginnings of collaborations with writers and musicians who were incarcerated within New Folsom’s walls. This was the seed for the Prison Music Project and the culminating album, Long Time Gone, produced by Ani DiFranco.
ANI DIFRANCO
Widely considered a feminist icon, Grammy winner Ani DiFranco (she/her) is the mother of the DIY movement, being one of the first artists to create her own record label, Righteous Babe Records, in 1990. While she has been known as the “Little Folksinger,” her music has embraced punk, funk, hip hop, jazz, soul, electronica and even more distant sounds. Her collaborators have included everyone from Utah Phillips to legendary R&B saxophonist Maceo Parker to Prince. She has shared stages with Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Kris Kristofferson, Greg Brown, Billy Bragg, Michael Franti, Chuck D., and many more. Her most recent studio album Binary was released in June 2017 on Righteous Babe Records. Her memoir No Walls and the Recurring Dream was released in May 2019, and DiFranco released a No Walls Mixtape alongside the book, offering a new take on songs related to the memoir. Most recently, Ani launched Righteous Babe Radio, a non-profit radio station curated to connect music, art, and activism.
