It’s been 20 years and a lot of hard times since Blue October formed, but Justin Furstenfeld and the gang aren’t done yet.
It seems for every plugged-in Blue October show (including a recent impromptu benefit for Texas flood victims), Furstenfeld also makes time for something even more intimate. The shows on his “Open Book” tour bring a mix of stripped-down Blue October songs, discussion and Furstenfeld reading from his 2009 book, Crazy Making:
The Words and Lyrics of Justin Furstenfeld to the Music of Blue October
. Ever wanted to know the story behind your favorite song? If you’re a Blue October fan, you’re not left in the dark. Furstenfeld is truly an open book … and he’s a book worth reading.
Justin Furstenfeld performs Tuesday at 20th Century Theater.
