If you didn’t get enough music at last year’s Cooper-Young Fest, last month’s Porchfest, also held in that district, was a great way to indulge even more.
Music lovers sauntered up and down Cooper Street and its side avenues, stopping to hear the nearly 200 bands that dotted the area.
The annual event is presented by the Cooper-Young Community Association, whose executive director, Amanda Yarbro-Dill, enthused on social media, “I want to thank every artist who shared your talent, every porch host who opened your space, and every single person who showed up to listen, wander, dance, and connect — thank you. You made this day what it was!”
Spring sprang with another day of music at Grind City Amphitheater on the grounds of Grind City Brewing. The event, held April 25th, featured headliner MonoNeon along with Frank McLallen & Extra Eyes, Joybomb, Cedric Burnside, and Raneem Imam.
The amphitheater, also known as “Grind City Amp,” is a collaboration between Grind City Brewing and veteran concert promoter Nick Barbian.
The Alabama Shakes headlined the venue’s inaugural concert, which was held April 22nd.
