SPIN Magazine and a Pearl Jam Superfan Hit the Road with Kyte

Posted by: Gabe Brosbe    Under: Partners |

We’ve all wanted to go on tour with our favorite band, but few get the chance.

Zack Newman is one of those lucky few. This Pearl Jam “super fan” will travel the country hitting 12 Pearl Jam shows in 19 Days documenting the whole thing for SPIN Magazine.

Zack’s journey will be powered by Kyte as he broadcasts a video diary directly to a Kyte channel on Spin.com, so now even if fans can’t hit the road they can still join in on the fun.
