Soul'd Out Music Festival: Two Weeks & Eight Venues + Win Tickets | April 11-24
April 1, 2010 — PDXPIPELINE(Win Tickets to the Soul'd Out Music Festival. Info at the bottom of post.)
From our partners at Doubletee
The first annual Soul'd Out Music Festival will take place over two weeks, throughout eight of Portland's most prestigious venues. Featuring artists from across the musical spectrum, including Jazz, Funk, Blues, Hip-Hop, Soul & more, SOMF brings them all together under the banner of Soulful Music. Soul music, unlike any other, has the unique ability to unite us across perceived differences in race, culture or generation.
The Soul'd Out Music Festival was created in November 2009, with the inaugural festivities scheduled for April 2010, as a means by which to give a platform to music often overlooked by the commercial music industry, as well as to create a festival atmosphere that both adults and the younger generation can participate in together.
Soulful, uplifting music, re-created in the live setting, is one of the most healing and profound means of expression humanity has. This music is the most effective tool of bringing about positive social evolution. We offer this festival as the beginning of a new movement towards realizing music's inherent healing and transformative qualities, and as a means of applying these qualities directly in our ever expanding community.

I haven’t hung out with my dad for over a few years. He digs Gil Scott Heron and I would LOVE to take him. He won’t let me pay his way but can’t afford to go.: (……: )
