As Promised, the Newest Addition

That's right, folks. She had to leave, but we're so happy she's back: Christina Lee! Fresh off a triumphant tour in the Southeast, Christina Lee will be part of the Forest Park International Music Festival, along with her three-piece band and 6-person choir.

Line-Up Change

JoBlack Sekou is no longer participating in the Festival. We're sorry to see him go, as we enjoy his music. But we expect to be able to announce a replacement for him in the next few days. Stay tuned!

New Sponsors!

We are extremely grateful and fortunate to have picked up a few more sponsors for the event: Sound Frontier and Roslyn Briggs. Sound Frontier is a dynamic blues/rock band out of Brooklyn and Harlem. Roslyn Briggs is an artist who creates gift baskets and designs and implements the setpieces, color schemes, etc. for weddings, corporate conferences, and more!
