KT Tunstall to Play at 2pm at NBC to Support the Writers*
*UPDATE 2:30 p.m.: The concert will now take place at 2:45 p.m. and at 2300 Alameda, not 3300 Alameda. Here's a map.
Yesterday we interviewed Scottish sensation KT Tunstall before she played to a sold-out Avalon, and we featured her in Tonight in Rock. Today we are receiving word that she is going to be playing at an address that sure sounds like NBC in Burbank to us.
as many of you may or may not remember, kt was supposed to be performing on both leno and carson daly today. unfortunately due to the writers' strike, the shows are on indefinite hiatus. well, not to be deterred, kt is heading down to the burbank lot with her guitar to play a few songs for the writers and show her support for them. Time is 2:00 (today) and she is going to 3000 west alameda.
