Carolina Music Festival tickets on sale soon

Tickets go on sale this Saturday for the Carolina Music Festival, a three day jazz, R&B and soul event at Booth Amphitheatre in Cary.

The festival kicks off Friday, August 24, with Michael McDonald. Saturday's show features Anthony David, Mike Phillips, Con Funk Shun, Tyrese and Erykah Badu. Sunday with close the festival with Marcus Johnson, Michael Manson, Joe Sample, Randy Crawford, Michael Franks and Boney James.

Tickets to Michael McDonald are $35/62.50/72.50. Tickets for Saturday and Sunday are $40/62.50. A two-day lawn pass for Saturday and Sunday is also available for $70. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster or at the amphitheatre's box office.

Personally, I'd bet Michael McDonald doesn't even know what the Carolina Music Festival is, it's just convenient for the promoter to use his name as a headliner and the dates matched up right. But to each his own. I'll rest my case if anyone can tell me how he's related to jazz, R&B, or especially soul music.
