Founded by producer Konda Mason, guitarist Vernon Reid (of Living Colour), and legendary journalist Greg Tate, the volunteer not-for-profit organization BRC has a lot to celebrate for its 40th Anniversary. There are two ways to access this event: 1. General Admission, first-come first-served. Just show up! 2. Fast Track opening the Monday before the event at noon.
