Friday night–January 23
Kameron showed up a couple of times on the 2008 Best releases lists, so I'd like to check him out.
Also happening Friday night, if you want something with a little more edge (don't let the photo fool you) check out Sophia Ramos, Swear On Your Life and Pillow Theory:
Likewise, California King is a band on the come-up, and I've heard good things about Ghettosongbird and El Malito, so you probably won't go wrong with this one either:
OR, if you're feeling Brooklyn-bound, you can check out Sweetie, Trezure, Sankofa and the other artists on this bill:
Saturday, January 24
Finally, if you want to get your discussion on, you can check out Full Spectrum's February program, The Humanitarians
Lots going on. And this doesn't include Alice Smith at the Highline Ballroom and Mos Def at the Blue Note!
