Local music school Music Compound is looking forward to a rocking “Good Friday” with its free community-wide event, Musicpalooza. The all-ages, family-friendly event takes place Friday, March 29, 3-8 p.m. at Nathan Benderson Park (5851 Nathan Benderson Circle, Sarasota). This is the kick-off event for My Hometown Fest, which takes place the next day.
The gates open at 3 p.m., with food trucks, beverages, area vendors, and DJ Kurses & Karma. At 4 p.m., the live music begins, with performances by Music Compound youth and adult bands The Spokes, Pins and Needles, Solar Apocalypse, Heartbreaker, The Jam Band, and Velvet Echo. Genres will range from pop, rock, grunge and favorite classics.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Sertoma Kids.
“Part of the mission of Music Compound is to provide an opportunity for musicians to connect, collaborate and create music together,” said Music Compound owner and president, Jenny Townsend. “We also facilitate numerous opportunities to perform publicly, which is essential in helping our students to gain confidence, boost their stage presence, and promote their artistic and personal growth. We hope the community will come out and enjoy the beautiful venue and this showcase of musical talent!”
Parking is $10. Guests are invited to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. This event is free but advance tickets are recommended, for vendor planning purposes; visit musiccompound.com/musicapalooza for tickets.
