Welcome to the Anderson Street Project
Welcome to the Anderson Street Project, the newest home for Philadelphia’s R&B music fans.
I’m Evon Burton, the founder and creative director of the Anderson Street Project. The Anderson Street Project is for Gen X-ers and millennials, who like me, grew up on and love R&B music. This is for the people who remember the golden years of the 90s and 00s where Brandy, Monica, and Aaliyah reigned supreme and the ones that aren’t too holy to Bankhead Bounce to MJB’s “I Can Love You” in a public setting. This is for YOU!
My goal for Anderson Street is to create a community of folks who are informed to enough to not believe that random “R&B is Dead” thinkpiece on that hipster blog or aren’t totally reliant on the radio to find new music.
The Anderson Street Project is a social-media driven communication channel for all things R&B as it relates to greatest city in the universe, Philadelphia. Think of this as a gentle tap on your shoulder that reminds you of upcoming local concerts, dope events, and new music. And for the ones who know me, you know I always have a trick up my sleeve so you know there will be some crazy, exclusive stuff for Anderson Street “Neighbors” too.
