This coming Saturday, April 19th Blue State Coffee is co-hosting an earth day/CD release party at the Blackstone in Pawtucket, RI. We were able to purchase energy credits through People’s Power and Light so we can run the entire event on New England wind power!
Several bands from the CD (you can check it out and listen to it here) will be performing as well as a couple guest artists. We will have copies of the CD for sale and several local environmental organizations will be on hand to tell you about their important work.
You can find directions to the Blackstone here.
Hope to see you there!
