In 2003, New Hampshire hip-hop artist Sage Francis traveled to Olympia for one of the biggest hip-hop shows the city had seen at that time.

Sage rapped and told stories to a near sold-out Capitol Theatre main stage and left Oly's hip-hop scene bubbling and eager for more. Shortly after, Sage's popularity reached a higher level and it became clear that with his increased success he probably wouldn't be playing smaller cities like Olympia anymore, or at least for a while.  

This Saturday, Sept. 22, almost 10 years after his first and only performance in the state capital, the bearded/vegan rapper will make a trip back to town to headline the KAOS Block Party. Once again, the Capitol Theatre main stage will host his performance, and if it's anything like last time, then it'll be much more then your average everyday hip-hop show.
