Connecticut-based musical artist Aim Vision will be headlining this concert, with additional performances from Tre Breezy, CARL!, and Micael The Son.

My classmates and I in our Live Concert Planning & Promotion class have created this concert to gain hands-on experience in planning and executing a live concert event. As part of the course, we have booked the artists and venue and have done our own branding and marketing for the event.

Musical Intervention is located on Temple Street in New Haven, Conn. It works with clinical and community-based organizations and the public to provide a platform for individuals and groups to write, record, and perform original music.

We hope many Chargers will come out on May 4 to show their support.
