"What are the established duties of #ChuckRedd?" Glad you asked!
Simple to find: namely in the contract that he willingly signed
@wm.hdly.io bsky.app/profile/msmi...
Counterpoint: Name controversy is one thing; violating a valid contract (= bedrock of business operations) is quite another;
If #ChuckRedd CONTRACT obliges him to perform, then he must do so & suing him for refusing is not harassment but what anyone would be EXPECTED to do bsky.app/profile/msmi...
People it's very simple here: what does the CONTRACT #ChuckRedd has w/KenCenter say?
If it includes no provision for such cancellation - then yeah, a "forced performance," Redd presumably gains e.g. $$ from that contract

Kennedy Center is seeking $1M in damages after a jazz musician cancels holiday show following the Trump-Kennedy renaming. Where does artistic protest meet contractual obligation? 🤔 #KennedyCenter #KennedyCenter #TrumpKennedyCenter #Trump #ChuckRedd
After all the #ChuckRedd contract is with the Kennedy Center not the Trump etc.
#Legal
#White #trash #asssucker #RichardGrenell is not going to get a single dime from #ChuckRedd or any other musician cancelling performances at the Kennedy Center. Their contract was with the John F Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts, not the Lardass Center for Performing Turds. 🤣🤣🤣
Kennedy Center President To Seek $1 Million In Damages From Chuck Redd After Christmas Concert Cancelation

As always #Trump lashes out at those that oppose his self-glorification projects and refuse to cooperate.
The cancellation by #ChuckRedd wasn't the "political stunt", the name change was.
Cooperating with an illegal act is harmful so he can cancel.

Y'know what. They're right. Chuck Redd should not have cancelled his performance. But the performance should be him playing chromatic scales on a trumpet one octave at a time and shouting fuck you between each scale. That's real avant garde jazz there! #chuckredd
Thank you! I hope you can/will take a stand through yours, your images are so powerful, and that this message gets through to other artists who will do the same! I have heard and shared his story, will pass along your message, and do all I can to stick up for his courageous stand. #ChuckRedd

When drummer/vibraphonist Chuck Redd heard the Kennedy Center was defaced, he cancelled his Xmas Eve concert in protest. They’re threatening to sue him for $1M for hurting someone’s feelings.
Not all heroes play guitar.
It's Saturday night.

#ChuckRedd is a true hero. With courage. Something the #GOP congress is lacking.
We all need to show our support of Mr. Redd.
#Resist
HOORAY FOR #CHUCKREDD FOR CANCELING HIS SHOW!!!
HE’S LIKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER A NANNY WHO ANNOUNCED SHE WOULD NOT WORK FOR ANY TRUMPER FAMILY!!!
YAY!!!
I fully support #ChuckRedd and all of the other artists who’ve cancelled performances at the #KennedyCenter. And the nonsense #RichardGrenell and #RomaDavari are pushing about the Kennedy Center being non-partisan and #Trump “saving” it is nuclear grade rubbish.

What if Trump changed the name of Walter Reed Hospital to Trump Reed Hospital and the doctors refused to come to work and treat the patients. Would we be celebrating it then? #chuckredd
