The Free Speech Center, which produces Music Matters on WMOT, is pleased to offer WMOT members and listeners free reserved seats for a celebration of music and free expression with Felix Cavaliere.

Cavaliere has been named the 2022 recipient of the Free Speech in Music award presented by the Free Speech Center at Middle Tennessee State University, in partnership with MTSU’s Center for Popular Music and College of Media and Entertainment. The award recognizes artists who have used their talents, fame, and visibility to address important social issues, and who have demonstrated the power of music as a form of free speech. It is presented with the support of the MTSU Distinguished Lecture Committee.

“From the anthemic 1968 hit “People Got to be Free” to his early commitment to onstage diversity to decades of performing in support of U.S. military veterans and other important causes, Felix has lived his lyrics,” said Ken Paulson, director of the Free Speech Center.

The evening will include a conversation between Cavaliere and Paulson, and a special appearance by Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals.

Admission is free and open to the campus community and public.
