This past February at SoundPure Studios in Durham, NC, The Foreign Exchange gave a private acoustic show for 40 randomly-selected friends and supporters. The evening, captured on both audio and video, is the basis of their latest release, “Dear Friends: An Evening With The Foreign Exchange.”

Serving as a companion piece to their latest release “Authenticity” and as a glimpse into their acclaimed live show, “Dear Friends” is a double-disc CD/DVD digipak that features the full acoustic concert performed by the band’s current touring lineup of Zo!, Sy Smith, and singer/songwriter Jeanne Jolly. In addition to the live concert recordings, the release also features two new studio tracks; “Steal Away” featuring Jeanne Jolly and “All The Kisses” featuring Amber & Paris Strother of rising indie soul trio KING.

“Dear Friends” drops 6/28 on +FE Music and will be available on iTunes as a specially-priced video bundle. Hit the jump for the tracklist.

Many people discuss art often being a reflection of society. A reflection cannot discern between the happy/sad/good/bad elements it just reflects. We often look to escape from reality but I’m wonder could we possibly make our reality better if we dealt with and begun to discuss and hopefully change some of the harsh realities that confront us or the ones we love? The floor is yours….
