Media Advisory - Beat Street Jam Celebrates 1 Year Anniversary

PHILADELPHIA - Oct. 24, 2016 - PRLog -- Beat Street Jam – Featuring Killiam Shakespeare.

WHAT:  On Tuesday, October 25, 2016, the ground-breaking music series Beat Street Jam returns this month in celebration of the 1 year anniversary since its inception. Founded by renowned producer and drummer Steve Mckie (McKie Beats), in partnership with BBE (Adam Blackstone) and Love My Life Entertainment (Matt Sawyer), the series has become a cultural staple in the Philadelphia music scene for many in the community; alongside artists from around the country who have performed at the event including: Grammy Award-winning artists Robert Glasper, Bilal, James Poyser (The Roots), and Avery Sunshine to name a few.

With the absence of "Black Lily" and other eclectic music events for many years, Mckie wanted to create a refuge for local musicians and music lovers to be engaged, perform, and enjoy quality music – thus the title of the event. "Our purpose for founding Beat Street Jam was to create opportunities for musicians from different backgrounds to have a platform to perform, grow, build, reach, and inspire. Whether it's the DJ, host, featured performer, you're going to walk away with hearing and seeing something you never have before", states Mckie

The anniversary event will feature headliner Killiam Shakespeare, with special guests: Noel Scales, Reesa Renee, and Saaneah. Sounds provided by Dilemma and DJ Aktive. Hosted by Aaron Camper.
