In addition to raising money for these charities, Somethin' Else - New Orleans, in partnership with the Center for Rural Strategies, will expose many incredible New Orleans artists to a large base of passionate music fans and community-minded individuals. It will be Bonnaroo's way of giving back to and promoting the culture of New Orleans, encouraging people to visit and support the city.
"Even though New York is where the company is located now, New Orleans is where we started and it is very much our spiritual home," says Superfly's Richard Goodstone. "New Orleans truly inspires so much of what we do at all our events around the country and we always feel incredibly strong ties to the community."
