An evening at 720 and the Soul Cafe

On this Friday August 19^th 720 Music Clothing Café will be hosting the PBMF Soul Café.  We kick off at 6:30pm.  Cost is only $10. For the past few years, Pittsburgh Black Media Federation has brought a good feeling to Pittsburgh audiences across the city, with the Soul Cafe. The Soul Cafe's lineup of some of the region's most talented singers, musicians and spoken word artists continues to make everyone feel good.  More importantly, the fact that the proceeds from the Soul Cafe benefit the PBMF Scholarship Fund makes everyone feel very good. PBMF presents scholarships annually to college journalism students, who've participated in the organization's summer urban journalism workshop while in high school.   Be sure to join us and get your own good feeling Friday evening at 6pm.  Grab a snack from our cafe, relax and enjoy the show.  Don’t forget to check in once you’re here!
