The Klezmatics' November 8th Benefit Concert for DDDB
On Thursday, November 8th, the world-renowned Grammy-winning band The Klezmatics take to the stage of the Brooklyn Lyceum to play a special one-night-only benefit concert for Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn.

All proceeds from the concert will support both the community lawsuit challenging New York State's approval of Forest City Ratner's "Atlantic Yards" project, and the lawsuit in federal court seeking to stop the seizure of property via eminent domain for the controversial arena and high-rise development. DDDB is funding the two lawsuits entirely through grassroots donations and fundraising events; a victory in either suit would stop the "Atlantic Yards" project from moving forward.

The Klezmatics, winners of the 2006 Grammy for Best Contemporary World Music Album, will be joined by special guests Kakande--featuring cellist, local activist and Duffield Street Underground blogger Raul Rothblatt--and the Demolition String Band.

($25 tickets at the door should tickets remain at show time). This is an excellent opportunity to see such an extraordinary band as The Klezmatics, along with such a diverse line-up of excellent, special guest bands!
