Josh
Urban announces The
Search for Good Tour – Finding those who rock the world.
There's good everywhere, but
sometimes it doesn't make the news. So, we have to find it
ourselves.
The search begins Friday, May 24th,
as musician Josh Urban sets out to find it. Join him via social
media as he travels the east coast by train, playing music in
children 's hospitals, veterans centers, and street corners, finding
the people, sights, and sounds that make the world a brighter place.
Start a hunt of your own – go fourth and find the everyday heroes
around you. Tag your photos and stories back to the tour using the
#JURT (Josh Urban Rail Tour) hash tag on social media to share Josh's
stage to reach a worldwide audience. Invite your friends, family,
and co-workers to join you. Together, we'll go on tour. Together,
we'll change the narrative. All the world's a stage. Let's put some
good on it. The train leaves May 24th. All aboard!
