Buffalo is now fully engaged with Make Music Day. This year the all encompassing live music event will be held June 21 at venues throughout the city. On that day, music lovers and musicians will be doing whatever it takes to turn this city into a full fledge musical extravaganza.
Make Music Day is set to be held on Wednesday, June 21017!
Make Music Day organizers are encouraging everyone with a musical bent to do what they can, to make Buffalo come alive with the sounds of music on that day. Whether that means organizing a band to play on your street corner, or playing a musical instrument on the Metro Rail along with friends, everyone can contribute to this lively event.
If you own a restaurant, get a band to play. If you are the curator of a gallery, why not organize a number of your favorite musicians to jam? Heck, make music in your garage, or in the nearest park. No matter where you are, you can pull a harmonica out of your pocket and play. It’s all good… it’s all part of the big musical picture.
You don’t have to be a musician to show your support for the city-wide jam. Just get creative and participate for the sake of making music. Or do your part by attending a performance, if you have absolutely no ability to play an instrument (bring some spoons).
Make Music Day is a free celebration of music that takes place in Buffalo and Niagara Falls on June 21. EVERYONE is invited to participate no matter your skill level or genre of music.
There is an organized aspect to this celebration of music, and there is also a guerrilla aspect. It’s up to you, how you want to participate. For supporters that want to go down the ‘more organized’ road, there are a couple of ways to get involved in Make Music Day this year –
- If you are a Performer: Create your profile through the free Make Music Day matchmaking website and request venues that will fit your availability and style. Once that venue confirms your request, your performance is booked for June 21.
- If you have an available Venue: Create a profile through the free Make Music matchmaking website and peruse the musician profiles to request a performance or welcome musicians to bid on your venue. Once a match is made, you will host a performance on June 21.
At the same time, if you want to organize something on your own (grassroots, baby!), feel free to do that. The most important thing is to spend some quality time playing, or at least listening to some local live music.
Buffalo will join the world in promoting live music on this very special day.
Let’s go Buffalo. Let’s all make some awesome music on Wednesday, June 21 for the daylong event – Make Music WNY!
