Green Apple Earth Day Fest Needs Volunteers

If you want to volunteer for the Green Apple Earth Day Fest in DC April 17 - 19, you'll get to go to a free "thank you" concert in DC on 4/19. They haven't announced the DC artists yet, but the other cities have some good bands so I would expect the same in DC. Here is the link: http://planetgreen.discovery.com/work-connect/green-apple.html.

The Green Apple Music Festival for Earth Day will be in DC this year (and seven other cities) on the National Mall. Date is April 20 and its free. Bands include The Roots & Friends, Gov’t Mule, Toots and the Maytals, Thievery Corp - DJ set, Warren Haynes, Umphreys McGee, DC Boys Choir, and City Dance .

A true test of whether the National Theater will be able to draw soccer moms from the West End into the wild and wooly downtown: Kenny G will play there on Sunday, June 8.
