OLD LYME, Conn., April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Brand New, four friends from Long Island who epitomize 21st century rock, will add B.O.M.B. Fest to their North American tour lineup. Their 2009 album Daisy was the highest charting album in the US, debuting at #6 on Billboard 200.

Jay Electronica's songs instantly call you to listen. His lyrics echo the times in his life he's lived on the streets -- from New Orleans to Atlanta to New York. 2009 saw the release of his popular Exhibit C and brought us a glimpse into the delivery room as his girlfriend, singer/songwriter Erykah Badu tweeted the news between contractions of their daughter, Mars.

B.O.M.B. Fest, a Bring Our Music Back Inc. Festival dedicated to healing through music and the arts, announces this year's music extravaganza at the Durham Fairgrounds on Sunday, May 30, Memorial Day weekend. This is Music with Purpose.
