phillymusicfest

Philly Music Fest is a full week of indoor shows featuring Philly musicians, national headliners and rising stars. Profits from PMF are donated to music education programs for kids. The shows will sell out, so please grab tickets now at our website. Rock, Punk, Hip Hop, Folk, Jazz, R&B - Our Genre is Philly. Please come through, Support Your Scene and let’s raise some money while experiencing amazing musicians. @undrgroundarts @ardmoremusichall @worldcafelive @milkboyphilly @solarmythbar @arsnovaworkshop @johnnybrendas @somevelvetblog

Throwback Saturday…all the way back. PMF started in 2017 with @cayetanaphilly as Night 1 headliner, then @strandofoaks for Night 2 (PMF was only 2 nights back then), and from there we expanded to 4 nights, then 5 and now 7 - and we’ve hosted @mtjoyband, @jbrekkie, @mannequinpussy, @manmanbandband, @kurtvile, @am0slee, @langhorneslim, @lowcutconnie, @waxa_katie, @sandyalexg, @rubythehatchet, @hopalongtheband and about 150 more amazing Philly bands. Who’s Next? Enjoy the scroll (some grainy shots in the early days, but we’re coming along). Photos: Mostly @phranzen, @ludaronky for Amos, @countfeed for Hop Along, I think @itsjenstrogatz for Man Man, maybe me for Strand of Oaks and Cayetana?

After paying the bands and venues, and due to no PMF payroll, lean expenses and a bunch of grit and hustle, we are again donating $100,000 to music education programs (four years in a row). Thanks to everyone that attended the shows, bought merch and donated - you made a massive impact on our music community and helped thousands of underprivileged kids in Philly. The following organizations are recipients of your generosity: @rock2future @beyond_the_bars @worldcafelive @settlementmusic @playonphilly @pyomusic @keyofshejazz @arsnovaworkshop @musicopia1974 @nivassoc @famfrequencyphilly Thanks to @wxpnfm @ardmoremusichall @johnnybrendas @undrgroundarts @milkboyphilly @solarmythbar @jennseltz @somevelvetblog @johnvettese @wxpnmikev @mixtape_media_philly @avenue_west @jason.kelce @connorbarwin98 Video: @marsmacvisuals Song: @devongilfillian

Dropping this on a Friday to give y’all some positivity heading into the weekend. Incredible week of shows during PMF24, thanks to everyone that attended, thanks to the bands, thanks to the (independent) venues. We’ll be announcing our annual donation to music education next week. For now, please watch the Reel, revisit the sounds and go see some shows. Thanks, Greg & Jenn.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll highlight each band by posting a handful of pictures, then a recap video. We’ll also crunch some numbers and figure out how much money we raised together for music education. Here’s a quick batch of photos shot by the amazing @ludaronky.
