For years, An Open Book has given fans an intimate look into the mind and music of Justin Furstenfeld. But this time, it’s different. This time, it’s not just about sobriety. It’s not just about the past. It’s about what comes next. This spring, Justin Furstenfeld takes the stage once again with An Open Book: I Laugh At Myself —a raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal one-man show that will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you see life in a whole new way. More Than Just a Concert—A One-Man Play with Songs At its core, I Laugh At Myself is an acoustic solo show—but it’s so much more than that. This isn’t just a setlist of stripped-down Blue October songs. This is storytelling at its finest. Justin takes the audience on a journey through the songs that mean the most to him—the ones that are too delicate, too vulnerable, too deeply personal to fit into a full-band rock show. But it’s not just the music. This show is about the stories behind the songs—the moments in life that shaped them. It’s comedy. It’s tragedy. It’s life, in all its messy, beautiful, heartbreaking, and hilarious moments. A Night of Music, Laughter, and Reflection If you’ve ever seen Justin Furstenfeld perform, you know he doesn’t hold back. I Laugh At Myself is no different. Expect to hear stories that will have you doubled over laughing one moment and wiping away tears the next. Expect moments of brutal honesty, unexpected humor, and raw emotion. Expect to leave feeling something. Most of all, expect a show that stays with you long after you walk out of the theater. An Intimate Setting, A Personal Connection One of the most special parts of I Laugh At Myself is the atmosphere. These aren’t massive arenas or rock clubs—these are beautiful, old-time theaters where every seat feels like the front row. The setting itself invites a kind of closeness you don’t get at a typical concert. And in true Justin fashion, he’ll be there after the show, by the front door, ready to shake your hand. Because for him, this isn’t just about performing—it’s about connection. Don’t Miss It If you think you know An Open Book , think again. I Laugh At Myself isn’t just another show—it’s a new chapter, a new experience, and a new way of looking at life. Come laugh, come cry, come be a part of something real. Tour kicks off at the end of March—don’t miss it.

Let's talk "Pre-Save"and "Pre-Add" . Years ago we'd work towards pre-selling as many CDs as possible leading up to the release date of an album. That would help Blue October chart as high as possible on the Billboard charts and ultimately "the industry" would see it and open opportunities for the band. That's all very different now. With the streaming era, it's all about Pre-Saves (though physical pre-sales also matter). The band have a goal to hit 20,000 Pre-Saves of the new album Spinning The Truth Around (Part I) before the release date on October 14th. Pre-Saving the album on Spotify, Apple Music or other streaming platforms helps the band with two things. First, it affects the initial "algorithm" the streaming platforms use to spread music they sense as popular. Second, it helps with curated play-listing on the platforms. The more pre-saves, the more and bigger playlists the band is likely to get, helping spread the music. Social media and streaming platform algorithms are hard to fight. You all are our Blue Family so you care, you interact and you see all Blue October "news". There are many people who love Blue October or who would love Blue October, but they don't know we're still around or do not know we release new music every couple years because algorithms suppress the band. Please help us break through these algorithms. If you have a streaming account, go pre-save the album now. If you still listen to CDs, go pre-order the new album now. You can do this easily using the link below. Please share and encourage others to pre-save and pre-order. It helps way more than you could know.
