The former Men at Work lead credited his recent success to many things, but namely Zach Braff. He said the exposure through “Scrubs” and “Garden State” has put him back on the musical map and introduced him to a new generation.
If you love Braff’s taste in music as much as I do, you’ll love the Hotel Café Tour featuring Cary Brothers, Matt Costa, The Weepies, Joshua Radin, Charlotte Martin and Miho Hatori (of Cibo Matto). It comes to The Pabst Theater on Monday, Oct. 16 at 7:30 p.m
Once just a small coffee shop, The Hotel Café is now one of the premier singer/songwriter venues in the United States, but also an all-purpose clubhouse for a burgeoning community of Los Angeles songwriters.
The Hotel Café Tour is on its sophomore road trip and it features a rotating lineup of at least six artists at every show, all sharing musicians and supporting one another, making for a unique night of music. The tour is held together by performer and co-organizer Cary Brothers, who will be present for the entire tour. It stops in Minneapolis the night before the Milwaukee show, if you were wondering. You know the Cary Brothers from “Blue Eyes” (“Garden State”), their 2005 opening show at The Pabst (for Aqualung) and their latest single “Ride,” featured on the soundtrack to Braff’s latest film, “The Last Kiss."
