Tayyib's Beat: Backstage at Heineken Inspire
Philly 360° Exclusive: Backstage at Heineken Inspire
July 16, 2010
Stephen Starr's Washington Square
July 17, 2010
Theater of the Living Arts (TLA)
Last weekend was a musically-driven, inspiring and stellar time in Philly – and I want to give you an all access look at all that transpired.
On Friday night, I gathered with a mix of old and new colleagues for the Heineken Inspire dinner at Stephen Starr’s Washington Square. It was a good looking mix of young, progressive influencers who were gathered for no other reason but to foster our city’s creative energy by acknowledging the behind the scenes players in media, music, politics and sports who contribute to our current renaissance.
The next day, I headed over to the highly anticipated Heineken Inspire Concert at the TLA featuring J. Cole, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Musiq, Philly 360° lead creative ambassador Marsha Ambrosius, and to top it off, a surprise appearance by Freeway that took the crowd by storm.
Backstage, we had a chance to sit down with some of the performers to get their take on Philly’s powerful music scene. Check out our exclusive interviews with Jazzy Jeff, Musiq, Carvin Haggins and Ms. Marsha. Plus, take a look at the slideshow for Heineken Inspire.
This was by far one of the best line ups I’ve seen all year. Where else could this happen but the city of love?
