Earth Day Network & Green Apple Festival Announce Music Line-Up For "America's Largest Earth Day Celebration"
The initial musical line-up has been announced for eight major Earth Day events by Earth Day Network and Green Apple Festival presented by Chase. Across the country on Sunday April 20th, an eclectic line-up of artists will perform in landmark parks in eight cities. The events will combine environmental addresses by prominent speakers, the presence of a wide variety of environmental organizations and educational displays on the theme of environmental awareness. The line-up ranges from blues legends to Latin powerhouse pop stars, reggae greats, jam band favorites, conscientious hip-hop artists, R&B icons, rock bands and singer/songwriters during "America's largest Earth Day celebration." A forthcoming announcement will reveal the "Green Apple Venues" - a list of participating venues and performers in each city who will employ environmentally-friendly practices throughout Earth Day Weekend. 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. The combined efforts of Earth Day Network (the nonprofit organization created by the founders of the original Earth Day in 1970) and Green Apple Festival has resulted in plans for a nationwide gathering that will get Americans out of their homes and under the trees to celebrate Earth Day 2008. "We're combining music with compelling speech to raise awareness of the problem of global warming and inspire people to action," said Kathleen Rogers, President of Earth Day Network. ."Earth Day 2008 will bring major talent and leaders together to empower people to become environmentally active." "We're thrilled to announce this line-up and expect to reveal more names in the days to come," says GreenApple 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." 2008 Earth Day Network/Green Apple Festival Free Line-up NEW YORK Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder Big Head Todd and the Monsters Vusi Mahlasela Vienna Teng WASHINGTON DC "Earth Day 2008 on the National Mall" The Roots & Friends Gov't Mule Toots and the Maytals Thievery Corp - DJ set Warren Haynes - solo acoustic set Umphreys McGee DC Boys Choir City Dance CHICAGO Derek Trucks Band Dirty Dozen Brass Band Meshell Ndegeocello Chicago Afrobeat Orchestra Miss Lori Holton Nash The Gwalla Gwallas Event MC- Kyle Orton - Chicago Bears MIAMI Menudo Arrested Development Baby Loves Salsa Caravan of Thieves DALLAS Los Lonely Boys Martin Sexton Junior Brown Cas Haley The Steps George Stanford DENVER The Neville Brothers The Benevento/Russo Duo Rose Hill Drive SAN FRANCISCO Mickey Hart's Mass Drums Yonder Mountain String Band Brett Dennen LOS ANGELES Taj Mahal Ziggy Marley solo acoustic Juliette and the Licks School of Rock Hollywood Allstars The Frequency Coby Brown
