THE FLYER

Michelle Thibodeau (@planetskull)

The flyer was designed by local artist, musician, and space witch; MICHELLE THIBODEAU (@planetskull). Michelle will be performing at the festival in two of her bands; The Cult of Spaceskull (thecultofspaceskull.bandcamp.com) and Tony Kasino Family Band (tonykasinofamilyband.bandcamp.com). She is also in another band called Dear Darkness (deardarkness1.bandcamp.com), a stylish punk duo that makes songs you can’t help but to dance or fight to.

THE CAUSE

The Corktown Music Festival is a benefit show with its proceeds going to 4 Paws 1 heart, a non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce the number of homeless cats and dogs by paying for needed medical treatment and assisting with the permanent placement of animals through partnerships with local rescue groups.
