FEATURED EVENT
On Sunday (02/01/09) at 1pm, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo will be performing at Lyman Hall at First Churches, downtown Northampton, MA. SA23 performs positive hip-hop for kids with a sound that’s all grown up. Fronted by 23 (a/k/a Cactus from grownup band Granola Funk Express), SA23’s debut CD Easy is the first great hip-hop CD for kids, and the live show is a great high-energy party for the whole family. 23 did a fantastic show last fall, and this will be a great pre-Superbowl time for everyone. A portion of proceeds to the church’s capital campaign. (Enter across from the Iron Horse.)
