Nextarts Presents: 2006 Concerts with a Cause Series

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, June 1st, 2006

Following our “Sock It To Me Concert” (2005), NextArts will present concerts on Saturday nights in Potrero Park, from 6-9:00PM. Potrero Park is located in the Mission District of San Francisco (25th & Potrero). This is the first nighttime concert series in San Francisco history. We ask the press to join us in thanking the City and County of San Francisco.

Each concert is a separate collection drive. As with last years’ concert, we ask attendees to check their sock drawer for (new) unused items — tag still attached. We’ve added a second collection drive in 2006: school supplies. It’s all about the art of giving. Please remind your readers… No scissors or other sharp objects!

Here’s who’s playing:

July 8, 2006:

Paula West
Fillmore Preservation Jazz Big Band
Collecting school supplies

July 15, 2006:
