History of the Red Kettles

It all started in 1891 with Salvation Army Captain Joseph McFee. He learned that many people in his hometown of San Francisco were going hungry around the holidays and set out to find a solution to this problem. The biggest factor holding him back was funding the project. He decided to take the issue into the hands of the public and asked for donations on the streets of San Francisco. When his plan allowed him to feed up to 1000 of the poorest people in the city, it spread like wildfire across the united states. This year will be the 127th Red Kettle Campaign.

About The BoomBachs

A composition project at the University of North Texas brought this group together almost four years ago. They actively seek to take hip-hop in a more musical direction, and it shows; with hip-hop inspired vocals and jazz/rock-inspired instrumentals, the BoomBachs are able to command a crowd, no matter if they’re performing at a Denton house show or on a festival stage. One of the most unique sounds to come out of the Denton community, we were happy to have them perform at Golden Triangle!
