RAPPER BLACK THOUGHT AND NATIONAL SAWDUST ORGANIZATION WILL CURATE CONCERTS IN BROOKLYN THIS OCTOBER
[Entertainment News]
Black Thought on upcoming National Sawdust concerts in Brooklyn: “I wanted to create a musical residency whose format remains undefined for audience members before they enter the room. You can expect state of the art sound, a beautiful venue, and a quality evening — but that’s it. Approaching it this way forces audience members to remove any preconceived notions about the night and come open and willing to experience something dynamic.”
