The long awaited documentary of Brian's Lawn Chairs tour is now available on DVD, links to purchase are below this synopsis....Brian Vander Ark is a solo singer/songwriter who is also the lead singer for the multi-platinum selling rock band, The Verve Pipe. Frustrated with the lack of quality venues for solo artists, he decided to bring his own show into the backyards and living rooms of his supportive fans.In the summer of 2007, he played 78 shows in a 2 month period. In 2008, he took the "Lawn Chairs And Living Rooms Tour" to a new level. He booked 98 shows over a 3 month period, traveling all over the United States and Canada. Actor/Director Devon Gummersall (The "L" Word, My So-Called Life) followed Brian to make "Lawn Chairs And Living Rooms,” a 45 minute film documenting 4 shows performed in a 24 hour period, including scenes from a performance with his band The Verve Pipe.
