Musicians needed for Fete de la Musique

The streets of Coconut Grove will be filled with music again when Fete de la Musique returns June 21. 

There are openings for musicians and bands for their next live Fete de la Musique street festival. Like other street festivals on the summer solstice, bands play for free to promote themselves and their gigs as well as to encourage live music. The event is from 7 to 11 pm.

All types of music are being considered from rock, cover, jazz, blues, folk, latin and acapella.  Go to www.fetegrove.com and click on musicians to apply.  The organizers ask that bands provide a a link to a video for evaluation.

This is an annual celebration of music in the streets; an American musician came up with the idea in 1976, his idea was to build peace by the means of music. The actual event first took place in Paris in 1982 and has spread to over 450 cities all over the world. It takes place place on the Summer Solstice.  The Miami Conservatory of Music produces the event here in Coconut Grove.

Here is last year's event.
