The Acoustics of Outernational’s Future Rock

By

We caught up with local rockers Outernational a few times this year, most notably for an acoustic performance at Bar 4 in August. That acoustic performance and our interview with singer Miles Solay turned into the premiere episode of our new video series profiling local musicians (click to watch). What we did not know at the time was that the guys would be previewing their acoustic set before heading to nearby Southpaw to share a stage with Shilpa Ray and Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye on November 11 for our evening to benefit FortnightJournal.com.
