Just when you thought the roster couldn’t get any better…
Hopscotch and the Independent Weekly recently announced the free Edward McKay Artist and Author series, which will be comprised of three late-afternoon sessions on each day of the festival. The panel discussions are free and open to the public. Topics are “North Carolina’s Musical Heritage: Past, Present and Future,” “Black Mountain College: Legacy and Inspiration” and “Hip Hop Planet: Music and Its Work in the World.”
So if you want to hear 9th Wonder talk about the social and cultural impact of music with Christopher R. Weingarten of The Village Voice and Spin, grab a seat at the Raleigh City Museum. Event organizers recommend getting there early, because seating is limited.
Here’s a link that details the mind-blowing line-up of speakers. If your personal Hopscotch schedule doesn’t look like a game of calendar-Tetris already, it will now.
