More than 150 local and national musicians will perform at venues across the Ancient City, when the Sing Out Loud Festival begins next week.
To be held from Aug. 25 to Sept. 11, the event will consist of 28 concerts at 10 different venues over the course of three weeks. All events are free and open to the public.
“The Sing Out Loud Festival is a true St. Augustine celebration of music that spans as much of the musical genre spectrum as possible, showing the world what this community has to offer,” said Ryan Murphy, director of St. Johns County Cultural Events. “It’s all inclusive, from the guy with a laptop kicking out crazy electronic music to the five-piece Americana jam session.”
Beginning with a Sing Out Loud preview featuring Sam Pacetti at the Lightner Museum’s Café Alcazar on Thursday, Aug. 25, and culminating with the Backyard Bourbon & BBQ Finale on Sept. 11, the festival will feature performances at a number of venues, including the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, Backyard at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, the Colonial Quarter, the Downtown Plaza, Aviles Street at Plum Gallery, the Limelight Theatre and Ann O’Malley’s Irish Pub. The performance lineup includes Grammy-nominated and award-winning performers Brandi Carlile, Indigo Girls, Booker T. Jones, The Travelin’ McCourys and Greg Holden.
Official after-parties will be hosted by Narrow Magazine and held at Planet Sarbez and Nobby’s.
While the events are free and open to the public, seats can be reserved to the Sept. 9 main showcase featuring those acts by donating $5 to OneOrlando via TicketMaster or by reserving a Sing Out Loud hotel package with one of the partner hotels.
