To be totally honest, I’m not too impressed with this year’s Celebrate Brooklyn lineup, but there are a few gems, like jazz legend Pharoah Sanders, Alice Smith and Talib Kweli. We’ll announce what we’re going to individually, but here’s a look at the whole schedule.
Let us know in the comments which ones you’d like to see.
As always, donations are welcome!
Excelsior!
