John Legend Surprise Lobby Gig

09/08/2010
. John Legend surprised New Yorkers passing through Grand Central Terminal yesterday when he gave an exclusive performance inside a replica of the new Courtyard by Marriott lobby.

The singer/songwriter's performance kicked off a two month long initiative designed to bring the new lobby concept to more travelers across the U.S. The ubiquitous brand is unveiling "lobby zones" just like the one in Grand Central in three major U.S. airports in Atlanta, Chicago and Denver on September 15.

Legend played one set, including "Wake Up Everybody" and "Ordinary People" inside the famed train station's Vanderbilt Hall. As the crowd swelled, excited fans snapped photos on their cell phones, sharing the experience with their friends on social networks. - more on this story
