The Dude Hates Cancer Afterparty at JB’s Aug. 28

Nihilists, Jackie Treehorn, and keeping Walter in line aren’t the only things that The Dude has a problem with. Because for another year Tim Maxwell and his friends, the people behind The Dude Hates Cancer, are organizing an epic bowling tournament that donates it proceeds towards spreading awareness and finding a cure for leukemia and lymphoma. But as soon as the final pin hits the ground, it’s time to take the show over to Johnny Brenda’s for The Dude’s afterparty. Headlining are the funk, soul brothers Swift Technique who have been busy hitting the road, and are doing double duty today since they’ll also be playing Temple University’s Welcome Back Week at the Liacouras Center with Wale. Also on the lineup is modern indie folk extraordinaires Oso who will be bringing their melodic and soulful pop tunes to the stage. Jeremy Hollis, who has been a regular of The Dude Hates Cancer After Party in some capacity or another, will bring his elaborate songs to the stage. And rounding out the lineup will be Philly Folk Parader’s The Spinning Leaves, who most recently earned some praise for their performance at this year’s Philadelphia Folk Festival.
