Charles Bradley

After that brief intermission, previews are back. We're up to Friday at 5:30pm. Cold War Kids and Foster the People are playing opposite each other. Since this blog is meant to share music and not for criticism I'll stop there.

Charles Bradley is a feel-good story that NPR is going to love. He grew up on the streets of Brooklyn (probably not Park Slope or Prospect Heights, though!) In the spirit of other soul revival bands like Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, he's following in the footsteps of people like James Brown, Otis Redding, and Al Green. Read his Wikipedia page for the background. He and his band play the tent stage at 6pm. His album is already on some of the Top-10 lists for 2011 so you'll be hearing more about him soon.
