5/14/08 A note from Chad (Switchfoot) about The Music Builds Tour...
"As a band we have held firm to the idea that music can bring people together to accomplish much more than a show. We've always tried to play music for everyone regardless of ideology, race, or genre. So with that in mind we are proud to announce our involvement in one of the most diverse lineups we've ever been a part of. We dreamed up the The Music Builds Tour along with a few friends of ours whose main commonality is a dream to see this world change for the better. Different bands, different backgrounds, one goal: A traveling festival to raise money and awareness for Habitat for Humanity. We think very highly of the people who listen to our music. We are grateful for the open minded audience who have embraced our songs and allowed us to push the boundaries of where the music can go. We invite you to put differences in musical taste aside and focus on our commonalities: we all want to see this world change for the better. We hope that you'll come with us on this next part of the journey and get involved in something much bigger than ourselves."

I first heard of Jill Scott back in 2000, in Israel. One of the other American students, a girl from Marietta, was listening to her cd nonstop and it quickly grew on me.
Here is the blurb from Creative Loafing:
If JILL SCOTT's latest CD, The Real Thing: Words and Sounds Vol. 3 (Hidden Beach Recordings), doesn't prove she's moved out from under the shadows of Erykah Badu and the Roots, nothing will. Sexy, slinky, honest, raw and luscious, The Real Thing lives up to its name, as the three-time Grammy winner uses her spoken-word background to exquisite (and seductive) rapping effect on tunes such as "Wanna Be Loved." The string arrangements that grace The Real Thing should prove sweet fodder for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the city's biggest backup band, for this performance Wed., JULY 30. This soul is, after all, from Philly, which practically invented soulful string arrangements. $38-$100. 8 p.m. Chastain Park Amphitheater, 4469 Stella Drive. 404-233-2227. www.ticketmaster.com.
Yeah, the show is a little spendy, but I'd bet my boots it's worth every penny. |
