Featured Artist of the Week: The Skateboard Sneakers?

So you've never heard of Skateboard Sneakers? So what? That doesn't mean that in a brief blog post I can't enlighten and convince you to become interested.

We know that you have heard of G-Ro, the elusive white rapper that doubles as a Rock for Hunger Board Member. We have featured G-Ro on this blog before. Well, Skateboard Sneakers is his new backing band. Named after his latest album, the band features some of the best local musicians around. The band consists of a multi-talented guitarist/vocalist, an experienced bassist, and an outstanding drummer. The group bleeds hip-hop grooves.

Skateboard Sneakers will be appearing at Central Station Rock Bar this Saturday night, the 26th. Expect the boys to play a lot of the tunes that you can hear on G-Ro's MySpace page, as well as some covers and special treats. No matter the concoction created, it's a guaranteed good time.

Appearing with SS will be some other stellar acts. Hailing from Jacksonville, Florida, Fusebox Funk and J.Dash will be bringing their unique blend of hip-hop and funk. In addition, local celebrities Daylight District and former Featured Artist Madd Illz plan to ignite the stage as well.

Please check out all of these bands MySpaces and come out to the show on Saturday night. All of the details of the event can be found on the flyer below.

Note: I will definitely be in attendance. Please come out and say hello.
