Not everyone in their youth has been deprived enough to have luxuriated
a glass of thoroughly stirred sugar water, but you can imagine just how sweet it was. And though you haven’t had a taste of the “Sugar Water Featival” tour with Jill Scott, Erykah Badu and Queen Latifah, you know it’s going to be sweet. It’s also going to be good for you, as Badu has suggested with the pouring of these syrupy sweet ingredients: “The Sugar Water Festival is much more than a concert tour. It’s about educating, enlightening and entertaining. Queen, Jill and I are all committed to tapping into the communities we play – to raise awareness, in a positive way, of what we can all do create a better world.” Sweet. The festival makes it’s splash at 7 p.m., Sunday, July 31 at the UMB Bank Pavilion. Tickets are $24 – $75. Call 241-1888 or (618) 222-2900.
