Common Market returns to Orcas Center

Returning after their first Orcas appearance in 2009, the popular hiphop duo Common Market will play an all-ages concert at Orcas Center on Saturday, Jan. 30.

Common Market is DJ Producer Sabzi and RA Scion, each a well-known figure in the Seattle hiphop scene. Their paths crossed through the Baha’i faith and their political and spiritual approach to hiphop music. After collaborating on a couple tracks on RA Scion’s 2004 solo project, Live and Learn, the duo began working together. The result was a 14-track release in October 2005 which one radio station (KRS-One), praised the album for “spitting in the Tradition of the conscious Hiphop movement.”

All tickets are $12.

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.orcascenter.org or call 376-2281 ext 1. The Orcas Center Box Office hours are Thursday to Saturday, noon to 4 p.m.

There are a few volunteer slots for those interested in ushering, selling concessions or stage managing during the Common Market show. For more information about volunteering, contact the box office.
