Sneakers and Speakers 2009 announced
February 20th, 2009
Brothers Matt and Luke Bonner have announced Sneakers and Speakers 2009. The event is taking place at the Capitol Centre for the Arts on Saturday July 19, 2009. Here’s a video Matt has put up to promote the event:
The lineup is impressive. The three announced acts include:
- the felice brothers -- In the spring of ‘07, the Felice Brothers released their first recording “Tonight at the Arizona” on Loose Records in the UK. They WOW-ed ‘em across the pond playing festivals and gigs throughout the UK and Europe with the likes of the Waterboys, Blanche and David Grey. After making their way across America this summer for their first tour, they band hooked up with Bright Eyes for a string of rousing dates on the East Coast culminating in a performance on the venerated stage at Radio City Music Hall.
- edan with special guest dagha -- (the all caps are edan’s doing) EDAN’S CREATIVE PATH HAS STIRRED THE INTEREST OF JOURNALISTS AND DISCERNING MUSIC LOVERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD & HE IS ONLY JUST BEGINNING and dagha -- Original Boston Chapter Zulu Nation Member and emcee Dagha has substantially contributed to Hip Hop over the past 15 years. From his popular guest appearance on Edan’s latest LP, the critically acclaimed “Beauty and the Beat” to numerous features on many Insight projects, Dagha has proven himself a versatile veteran with seasoned style and delivery.
- wild light -- Founded in High School, then going separate ways for college, Wild Light reunited in Southern New Hampshire in 2005 and quickly began playing club dates in and around Boston MA.
The event is made up of two concepts. The first is a free basketball clinic for kids at the local YMCA where the Bonner’s first learned to play basketball, the second is a concert featuring some of Matt’s favourite artists.
Tickets will be available online through the Capitol Centre for the Arts shortly -- the event wasn’t listed on Wednesday February 18th when this post was written -- but check frequently as they’ll probably sell out quickly.
