When we say “Backstage at Sundance” we mean it. Simon Townshend is the brother of Pete Townshend, the legendary lead guitarist for The Who. He’s an amazing singer-songwriter and is visiting Sundance to perform at the ASCAP Music Café (Star Bar @ 268 Main St. – he plays Sunday & Monday).
We met up with Simon for an interview, but something much more exciting happened. Being the artist that he is, Simon speaks through verse. “How about a song?” he asked.
See his amazing impromptu performance here.
Next thing we know, we’re out in the snow in a back alley off Main Street. Simon, with guitar in hand, is stopping traffic and drawing a crowd, as he belts out an amazing acoustic number -- all while the snow falls softly on his shoulders and on the camera lens.
