Young Writers CD Release Party At the Neighborhood Resource Center
1 Comment »1519 Williamsburg Road
Friday, June 27th, 5:30pm-7pm
Support Greater Fulton youth as they celebrate the completion of their first homespun CD (recorded in the Neighborhood Resource Center’s own studio).
With grants from the Memorial Foundation for Children and the Richmond Police Department, Neighborhood Resource Center volunteers transformed a locker room into a recording studio, which is capturing the stories and rhymes of inner city youth. The kids’ songs cover a range of human experience from fantasy to tragic reality. Jamilla writes about someone she knows who was shot in the head; Kenya writes about the joy of eating the perfect burger; Zakiya pronounces her dream of going to college, not being on the streets. “Studio Time at the NRC” is available for $10. With the first 100 copies sold, you will also receive a free copy of Style Weekly’s Sounds of Richmond CD. Light refreshments provided by Ellwood Thompson’s Local Market. For more information, call 864-5797 or check www.nrccafe.org.
