Singer/songwriter Mason Jennings is one of the best-kept secrets in pop music. In his adopted home of Minneapolis his shows draw 3,000 fans. He was hand-picked by music supervisor Randall Poster to perform two Dylan songs, “The Times They Are a-Changin’” and “The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll,” in Todd Haynes’ acclaimed I’m Not There, both on the soundtrack album, and lip-synched by Christian Bale in the movie. His sixth full-length album, In the Ever, is being released on Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records, after the chart-topping performer personally recruited him for the label. “Every time I hear a Mason Jennings album it changes the way I see the world around me,” says Jack.

Consious Alliance is a non-profit organization based out of Boulder, Colorado. The crew, while touring the United States with musicians and artists, from venues to festivals, raises money to feed those who cannot afford to feed themselves. "The Conscious Alliance creates opportunities for social action within, music, art, and athletic communities to eliminate hunger and promote hunger awareness with the use of artwork." Supporting the cause, The Fox Theatre provides ample space for Conscious Alliance to sell artwork. Since 2002, Conscious Alliance has used the money to collect and donate more than 1,000,000 pounds of non-perishable food in to the hands of poverished and hungry people.

Conscious Alliance emphasizes on donating to American Indians. Reservations in

Ever since emerging as a member of Black Star in the late 1990s, Talib Kweli is one of the few artists making commercially viable music that matters. The Brooklyn bred rapper's hard-hitting music has been able to educate and entertain simultaneously. So it is no wonder that at the peak of their fame, both Jay-Z and 50 Cent named Talib Kweli as one of their favorite rappers.With Ear Drum, his first album released on his own Blacksmith Music and his sixth album overall, Kweli has delivered his career-defining work, a polished collection showcasing his advanced lyricism and his penchant for picking music that resonates long after the song ends. "The image of the ear and of the drum are powerful enough by themselves, but when you put them together, it's an instrument that's in your body that helps you hear," he explains. "They're also two very simple, yet powerful words. I wanted to focus on finding a sound that makes you move, and that's where the word 'Ear Drum' popped in my head."
