Dicker Benefit Concert to Mobilize Youth Vote and Progressive Supporters

On Wednesday March 12th, the Anne Dicker for State Senate campaign will be throwing a benefit concert for Anne Dicker called "Progressives for Anne Dicker". The event will take place at Johnny's Brenda's in Fishtown, a popular venue for acclaimed bands both local and national. Doors will open at 7 PM. Tickets are $15 online and $20 at the door. All proceeds go to benefit Anne Dicker's candidacy.

The Dicker campaign is taking advantage of the swell of political interest amongst young voters that has been caused by the presidential campaign coming to town. As the only progressive candidate in the race, Ms. Dicker has become the natural candidate for the under 40 demographic.

The entertainment for the event will be provided by local bands Philadelphia Slick and Mellow Veneer. Philadelphia Slick, voted Philadelphia's top band in 2007 by readers of the City Paper, is a ten-piece hip-hop, jazz group featuring two emcees, two horn players and two string musicians. Mellow Veneer is a three piece funk, soul, pop outfit lead by the fourth piece, the powerful, inspiring vocals of Lily Wonder. Some DJ's will also be rounding out the night. Monster Hands was originally been scheduled to play the event but withdrew due to a conflict.
