Switchfoot
Sep 27, 2010
Switchfoot will play a special concert at Belhaven University in Jackson, MS, on September 29. All proceeds (after expenses) will be donated to the John M. Perkins Foundation for Reconciliation and Development. A recent robbery severely impacted the Foundation's music studio. Formed in 1983, the Foundation is dedicated to developing the lives of youth, leaders and the underprivileged in Jackson and around the world and advancing racial reconciliation.
"An Evening with Switchfoot and Dr. John M. Perkins" will feature a full-length set by the band plus speeches by Dr. John M. Perkins, the civil rights activist whose autobiography, "Let Justice Roll Down," inspired the band's song "The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues)" and Switchfoot's Jon Foreman. Fans can view "An Evening with Switchfoot and Dr. John M. Perkins" from anywhere in the world via Ustream, which will broadcast the event live at 7 (ET) on September 29 at www.Ustream.tv/switchfoot.
