A '''Hootenanny''' is, by [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hootenanny definition], "a social gathering or informal concert featuring folk singing and, sometimes, dancing. [[Weezer]] has incorporated hootenannies into almost all of their recent live performances.

==Weezer's Hootenannies==

To support the release of ''[[Weezer (The Red Album)]]'', [[Weezer]] held a relatively small [[List of hootenannies|Hootenanny tour]], in which they traveled across the country playing songs along with fans in acoustic jam sessions. During the [[Troublemaker Tour]], Hootenannies were held on stage during concerts, in which fans performed on [[Beverly Hills]] and [[Island in the Sun]]. [[El Scorcho]] was performed at a few concerts. Lead singer [[Rivers Cuomo]] held a solo Hootenanny, entitled the [[Alone II hootenanny]] to support the release of his second demo compilation album, ''[[Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo]]'', in which he invited fans to not only play along with him, but to chose the setlist as well. Many [[Weezerpedia]] users were in attendance for this concert.
