The open application process for Atlanta Pride 2009 Entertainment is now closed, and the Atlanta Pride Committee is excited to announce beatboxing “American Idol” alum Blake Lewis as the headliner in our finalized entertainment lineup for this year’s Oct. 31-Nov. 1 festival.

On the heels of his new album Heartbreak On Vinyl, an Oct. 6 release featuring the single “Sad Song,” Blake takes Pride’s Coca Cola stage by storm for a free show on Nov. 1.  For more on Lewis, visit: http://www.blakelewisofficial.com.

Other entertainers scheduled to perform free shows in Piedmont Park Oct. 31-Nov. 1 include Goddess & She, Eric Himan & the Adams, Sonia Leigh, Doubting Thomas, Josh Zuckerman and Heidi Hensley. Of course, we’ll also host our annual Poetry and YouthPride Entertainment Blocks, as well as the annual Starlight Cabaret. Check out Pride’s finalized full entertainment lineup below.
