This event marks the very first time that such a diverse group of musically gifted and critically acclaimed musicians have come together in their hometown to share one stage. "Our city is known across the nation as the 'City of Brotherly Love," and the artists and managers have come together collectively to offer great music, synergy and raise money for music education," says Shawn Gee (Business Manager for The Roots and Jill Scott).
The fourth and final concert is Sunday, February 10th and is called "The Old School All-Stars." This post-game show features Run DMC, Slick Rick, Doug E.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit music education programs across the country. The local media sponsor for "The Philly All Star Concert Series" is the Philadelphia City Paper. All four shows are 21 and over only.
A variety of Sega Sports video games will be available to play during this event, including some of its newest sports titles---NBA 2K2 and NFL 2K2.
