Starting Thursday, a diverse group of musicians and performers come together to hoist a huge new Earth Day festival upon New York City, and hopefully inspire newfound passions for a healthy planet along the way. Confirmed talent for the inaugural Green Apple Music and Arts Festival includes such odd bedfellows as Blues Traveler, Dresden Dolls, GhostFace, Joe Satriani, Richie Havens, and the New York Philharmonic. Also committed to perform are tap dance superstar Savion Glover, singer/songwriter Amy Correia, dance funk nightclub darlings Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra, post-bluegrass banjo ensemble Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, jazz-influenced hip-hop artist DJ Logic, 70s rock icon Peter Frampton, and neo-lounge act Nouvelle Vague.
