  1. The Green Apple Festival will expand to eight cities this April. Produced by Peter Shapiro and Jambands.com parent company Zenbu Media, the third annual festival will place new emphasis on its free outdoor events, as well as greening over 125 venues throughout the country. On Sunday April 20, an eclectic line-up of artists will perform in landmark parks in eight cities. The events will combine environmental addresses by prominent speakers and educational displays with music and entertainment, on the theme of environmental awareness. The line-up ranges from blues legends to Latin powerhouse pop stars, reggae greats, jamband favorites, conscientious hip-hop artists, R&B icons, rock bands and singer/songwriters during "America's largest Earth Day celebration." The all-inclusive, interactive and free public events will occur in New York City (Central Park), Chicago IL (Lincoln Park Zoo), Miami FL (Bicentennial Park), Denver CO (City Park), Dallas TX (Fair Park), San Francisco CA (Golden Gate Park) and Los Angeles CA (Santa Monica Pier). The flagship event will be Earth Day 2008 on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

    "We’re thrilled to announce this line-up and will reveal more names in the days to come," says Green Apple Festival founder and Executive Producer, Peter Shapiro. "Artists from every genre have raised their hands to participate in America's largest Earth Day celebration, spread out across the country in public parks for everyone to attend. We owe endless thanks to the artists and their teams who care enough to underscore the urgency and message of this mission."

  2. I just noticed the slip thread announcing SMMD dates got 20 views in a couple of days. waste. If that thread was in the general forum, way more people would read about and get hip to the tour. This seperate forum is hurting the band.

    Do you guys want the Slip to break up? If not I say kill the Slip forum!

  3. Wish that ZPZ was at Nelson Ledges on July 4th ... now THAT would be sweet :D

    Yeah. Most people I've talked to are thinking about doing Gratefulfest on Labour Day weekend instead of July 4.

    2008 is already looking chock-full of good music, and I'm still recovering from Langerado.
