June 22
TD Pavilion

Edwin Outwater, conductor

Join us on June 22 at the TD Pavilion at the Mann for a night of indie/roots-orchestral fusion as DISPATCH plays its premiere performance with The Philadelphia Orchestra! This debut concert will feature all-new symphonic arrangements of the band’s classic songs.

Formed by Chadwick Stokes and Brad Corrigan while in college in Vermont, DISPATCH have forged their own path outside the mainstream music industry as one of the most successful artists in the roots rock scene. Over the course of a slew of acclaimed studio and live albums and countless tours and festivals, the band has gone on to become one of biggest success stories in independent music history, selling out three nights at Madison Square Garden and drawing over 100,000 fans to a massive outdoor show in their adopted hometown of Boston without any traditional radio or major label support. The band recently released their extraordinary 8th studio album, Break Our Fall, to critical acclaim. 

Throughout their rise, DISPATCH has taken every opportunity to use their success for good, launching charitable organizations to fight inequality and mass incarceration, raising funds and awareness for environmental causes, schools and hospitals on the road, and even traveling as far afield as Zimbabwe to work with children and communities in need. Chadwick Stokes’ Calling All Crows joins bands and fans together in collective activism that has raised more than half a million dollars, while Brad Corrigan’s Love Light + Melody helps amplify the stories of children who live in extreme poverty.

Our Fabulous Philadelphians paired with DISPATCH will be a summer evening of unforgettable, heartfelt music under the stars!
