Joshua Radin is to folk what John Mayer is to blues: virtuosity forever in search of authenticity. His music is Zach Braff-approved Lexapro for the ears and it’s been all over TV for the last near-decade: Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, American Idol, Cougar Town, One Tree Hill, House M.D. And no wonder. His early albums sound like a one-man Simon & Garfunkel, the more recent albums sound like Joshua Radin. He’s the go-to guy when you can’t afford “Time Of Your Life” for your Big Feels this-means-time-has-passed montage, filmed in bittersweet slow motion. I mean, he sang at Ellen & Portia’s wedding, fer chrissakes! All of which is an admittedly somewhat back-handed way of saying we are pleased to announce that we have a pair of tickets to see Joshua Radin perform acoustic at World Cafe Live @ The Queen on Monday November 2nd. Because it’s practically Halloween, we’re gonna give you a break from the usual trivia question/social media hoop-jumping required to win and make it very simple: be the 47th person to email us at Phawker66@gmail.com with the words JUST GIVE ME THE GODDAMN JOSHUA RADIN TICKETS ALREADY! (Sorry, but if you are uncomfortable swearing on email or taking the Lord’s name in vain, then you can’t win. Nothing personal, but we are trying to roughen up Joshua’s audience, offset the yogurt eaters with more hard-living Lemmy types — it’s just a social experiment, humor us.) Please include your full name and a mobile number for confirmation. Good luck and godspeed!
