The Savannah Urban Arts Festival has announced the lineup for it's big benefit concert that will be the culmination of 6 days of events. 8PM, May 9th @ the Morris Center, SUAF will present two Savannah natives who have gone out and done big things with music - Grammy winner Anthony David, and electro-soul diva Brittany Bosco (they both went to the same high school too, although at different times).
The fact that the show consists of two locals who had to leave the city to make career moves just demonstrates how much the city itself needs to improve its creative infrastructure. Second-tier cities across the country suffer from a massive talent-drain where every artist with a chance to do big things has to move to ATL, NYC, LA or wherever else talented folks go, and it means that their hometowns suffer by an ongoing inability to support their own artists.
This will be a great event, and probably one of the best shows in Savannah all year. For more info, check out www.savannahurbanartsfestival.com - and by the way, big up to Paragon Design for all their help with the website.
