Who Controls What You Hear?
The Future of Music Coalition and Common Cause are teaming up to sponsor a concert Friday, May 23, at the 9:30 Club to draw attention to a key vote by a federal agency that will affect what every American watches on TV and hears on the radio.
The concert, titled “Who Controls What You Hear?” will call attention to a Federal Communications Commission vote scheduled for June 2 that would loosen restrictions on media ownership rules. Featured artists will include Washington Social Club, Etherpool and Gavin DeGraw.
Tickets cost $10 and are available at the 9:30 Club or through www.tickets.com. Money raised will benefit the Future of Music Coalition and Common Cause.
