Having just announced that their fourth vintage soul masterpiece, I Learned The Hard Way, will be hitting stores on April 6th, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings are offering fans the chance to win tickets to their April 30th release party at NYC's legendary Apollo Theatre. At 3:00 EST today, Daptone Records will tweet a message about the show from their Twitter account. Fans should retweet Daptone's message to their followers, and they'll automatically be entered to win. Daptone will then draw a random winner today at 5:00 PM EST. Today's promotion also launches the beginning of an ongoing Daptone Twitter giveaway club, so from now until street date fans can get their hands on additional exclusive material by following the label.
Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings' October 2007 Apollo performance wowed fans and critics alike, who hailed it as the return of soul.
"...Last night, sitting at the Apollo, I realized something. Nobody makes music like this anymore. Nobody entertains like this anymore. Nobody except Daptone. For 12 years they have been doing things their way, working hard and paying dues. Now they finally did it their way, at the Apollo Theater." [Flea Market Funk]
Tickets for the April 30th performance just went on sale to the general public this morning, but are already selling fast. Fans who want to make sure they get in (free tickets or not) should grab theirs now before it's too late!
