[Sally Michael Keyes]

FODfest (FRIENDS OF DANIEL PEARL) 

PLAY IN HONOR OF LATE JOURNALIST AND MUSICIAN 

At The Kent Stage on Thursday, October 29, 8:00pm 

 

What: FODfest - Wall Street Journal reporter, Daniel Pearl became known internationally when he was abducted and brutally murdered on video in Pakistan in 2002.  In addition to being a journalist, Daniel Pearl was a talented musician who believed in the power of music to bring people together regardless of the differences between them.  FODfest celebrates this ideal in a unique performance experience that is part concert, part song-swap, and part jam session.  Musicians of all ages, backgrounds, and musical genres join together at FODfest concerts, often meeting for the first time on stage in celebration of Daniel Pearl's life.  Clips of past performances 

Some of Pearl's friends, including Off the Beat-N-Track Studio owner Todd Mack, created FODfest, a touring celebration of music's ability to build a connection in community between all of us. FODfest 09 will tour nationally for over 31 days in October including a run-out gig to the Taichung Jazz Festival in Taiwan from Oct 14 to 21. It is a featured event of the 8th Annual Daniel Pearl World Music Days organized by the Daniel Pearl Foundation, and to date has toured to 20 cities with more than 350 participating musicians from across the country and around the globe.
