The Roots‘ appearance would be in part to promote their new album, Rising Down, scheduled for an April 29 release. Incidentally, the April date is also the anniversary of the LA riots sparked by the acquittal of the officers who beat Rodney King.

UPDATE – 3.29.2008: Just found out that Old Crow Medicine Show’s playing City Stages on June 13. (read more)
