Music Bumbershoot in Billboard
The preliminary line-up for Bumbershoot 2006—including a stadium show with Kanye West—is the lead news item in this morning’s edition of music industry bible Billboard. Of the acts not cited in the Billboard piece, but also confirmed, I’m particularly excited about another local appearance by soul great Bettye Lavette and a rare show by neo-folk icon Vashti Bunyan.
Kanye West, A Tribe Called Quest, and Atmosphere all in the same place on the same weekend is very exciting.
