Teresa Prince The Fray with Isaac Slade on piano and Ben Wysocki on drums.
The Fray will headline Rock the Green, a concert event billed as "the Midwest's Near-Zero Waste Music Festival," on Sept. 18 at Veterans Park.
Other bands on the bill for the show, which opens at 11 a.m. and is presented by Veolia Environmental Services, include Ben Folds, Fitz and the Tantrums, Michelle Branch, Christina Perri and Evan Christian.
According to organizers, the concert's mission is to educate and entertain "by combining a world-class concert with an interactive sustainability experience." Rock the Green also has an endowment that supports efforts stressing building sustainable communities. Bands that were chosen could each tell their own eco-stories.
Tickets, at $25 and $50, go on sale Saturday. You can subscribe to access presale tickets, and find more information on the event, at rockthegreen.com .
Organizers pledge a festival that will use clean energy and other practices to ensure near-zero waste and will highlight local and national sustainability innovators for exhibits and interactive education.
Beneficiaries of Rock the Green include the Urban Ecology Center and the Park People.
Other green plans include giving ticket discounts for those who donate to Goodwill anytime between Aug. 1 and Aug. 30, and giving concert-goers a free collapsible water bottle that can be filled on-site at free water stations.
