Downtown Wilmington is the place to be for all music styles. We've seen Rock, Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop, Rockabily, Folk, and dozens of other great musical styles played throughout our downtown.
This Saturday, July 11, some talented Reggae artists will be performing on Rodney Square - we'll get to hear from artists like Lex A Million, Maine Gwap, Shane Koosong, and Jah Torius.
The concert is free and open to the public.
I hope to see you there!

Wilmington is home to a growing number of talented and innovative musicians. I can't tell you how proud I am when the talent grown here is recognized on a national scale.
That's what happened this weekend when Angela Sheik was featured on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday.

You can also watch the video that got NPR's attention here:
By the way, you might want to make July 16 on your calendar - that's when you can see Angela and several other great artists at the Ladybug Music Festival in Downtown Wilmington.

The Clifford Brown Jazz Festival is a Downtown Wilmington tradition going back more than 25 years.
This festival has grown in prominence and scope, with performances and activities scheduled throughout the week and throughout the downtown area. You can click here for a complete line up of events.
This year's line up of artists is truly impressive - from John “Sax” Williams to Pieces of a Dream to the Tito Puente, Jr. Orchestra - you don't want to miss this year's festival!
I'm proud to say Downtown Visions will once again be providing help and support to this great festival that draws thousands of people to our city from around the country and around the world.
