Jack Daniel's Art Beats + Lyrics
February 20, 2009
Urban art and hip-hop music took the stage at the Hippodrome

If you weren't at the Hippodrome Theatre Friday, Feb. 20, you missed an amazing event. The theater hosted the Jack Daniel's-sponsored Art, Beats + Lyrics exhibition, which is a traveling showcase for urban artists and a variety of musicians. The exhibit included paintings, graffiti and photography, and while each work may be worthy of its own spotlight, pairing them with live music immersed the crowd in art and culture. And as great as the art was, the dance and music stole the show. Break-dancers even encouraged audience participation. Once the live music started, the crowd pressed toward the stage to listen in and dance. The evening was filled with excellent live music, as well as some amazing DJs.
The night of art, dance and music had a great vibe. Oh, and the Jack Daniel's wasn't bad, either.
