Event

Bands not Bombs

Bands not Bombs is an all-day outdoor benefit festival to be held in the Cooper-Young neighborhood on May 9, 2009. It is expected to attract 500-800 participants and will be heavily marketed to thousands more people across the mid-south. All proceeds from this event go to benefit the work of the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been working to develop communities of peace, social justice, and human rights through education and nonviolence since 1982.

It will feature over a dozen local bands, food, drink and hundreds of your favorite Memphians. During the day we will have a moonbounce for the youngins and the concert area features shade and grassy areas. So bring a blanket and some sunscreen. Kids under 12 get in FREE.

Rain Location: The Abbey, inside LifeLink Church and the place where Johnny Cash played his first concert.

Featuring the music of Two Way Radio, Hope Clayburn, Pezz, Yazoo Shakes, Jeffrey James and the Haul, Bulletproof Vests, While I Breathe I Hope, Soul Enforcers, & Jessica Jones.
