Thank you, Christian. 🙏 We accomplished what we came to the @WhiteHouse for!

[Christian McBride @mcbridesworld]

I was honored to be present at the @whitehouse yesterday as a representative of both @newportfestivals and @nivassoc as part of a campaign to end “junk fees” and to advocate transparency in ticket prices. Our @newportfestivals COO, Kira Karbocus, did a marvelous job in a conversation with the @potus.

Ever since their 2001 album, fans have been clamoring for The Philadelphia Experiment (Christian McBride, “Questlove”, and Uri Caine) to release a new record. They’ve just dropped a new live album captured at the 2017 Newport Jazz Festival. https://t.co/UngTs8JIWc

Instead of focusing on an artist announcement today, we ask that you use your voices to contact members of Congress. If you feel something, do something. Be the change. #whatwouldpetedo

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.
