Last year, when Chris Osgood (the former Suicide Commando frontman, not the Red Wings goalie) left the Springboard for the Arts in St. Paul for a job with the nearby McNally Smith College of Music, Springboard threw a party--the Osgood Do-good Bash. And had so much fun, they're doing it again, to raise money for Springboard, which offers low-cost business, management, and legal resources for artists.
This year's concert is Friday, June 26, and features not only Osgood, with a group called The Warblers, but Jeremy Messersmith and many others, such as spoken-word artist E.G. Bailey, hip-hop hero Tou Saiko Lee, and Ragamala Dance member Amanda Dlouhy. Additionally, an art sale will be held, with work from some rather hip local artists: photographer Chris Faust, painter Teresa Cox, etc.--all Springboard clients.
The party, sponsored by The Current, among others, will be in St. Paul at the McNally Smith College of Music Auditorium from 7 to 11 pm.
