CITY STAGES 2008 glowed with a kind of radiance that makes music fans hungry for more. The annual event happens to be one of the premier music festivals in the Southeast and one of the prominent drawing cards for the city of Birmingham. We were very blessed to be a part of this year's festivities and to take a few snapshots of the big acts in action. Original snapshots include footage of Martha Munizzi, Israel & New Breed, Canton Jones, the Basement, the Birmingham Community Mass Choir and William Murphy.

Thank God for the folks at the Birmingham News and (Fox 6 News) MyFoxAL.com for the professional snaps. We even featured a gallery - exclusively dedicated to their great work. Incredible views of the Flaming Lips, the Roots, Ben Harper, Diana Ross, Al Green, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly and Anthony Hamilton are in place and ready for your viewing pleasure. It is our hope that these photos will give you a close-up feel of how great good music really is in person.
