Kurt Vile, G. Love, Man Man, Members of Cage the Elephant and Dr. Dog and More to be Featured on Love From Philly Live Stream Festival

Love From Philly, a virtual music and arts festival created to help aid the arts and entertainment sectors of the city of Philadelphia that is being hit hard during these difficult times, is set to take place from May 1st to May 3rd. All of the proceeds go directly to two Philadelphia non-profits: 30amp Circuit, the city’s only non-profit dedicated exclusively to the health and wellness of musicians, as well as The Philadelphia Venue Workers Relief Fund, giving out grants directly to unemployed Philly music venue workers.

Artists that are set to perform for the festival include Kurt Vile, G. Love, Man Man, Mondo Cozmo, Nick Bockrath of Cage The Elephant, Eric Slick of Dr. Dog, Schoolly D, Dice, Raw, Eric Bazilian, Tom Hamilton of JRAD, Lauren Hart, Marc Brownstein of Disco Biscuits, and Sean Hoots of Hoots and the Hellmouth. More artists are expected to be announced leading up to the virtual festival.

Vile has already postponed his spring tour to this summer, which may have to be further pushed back because of the virus. As artists continue to adjust to life without live music, events like these will become extremely important to help keep local artists supported throughout the pandemic.

The festival can be accessed and viewed from the Love From Philly website. Streaming will begin in ten days, on May 1st. Check out the festival flyer below:

Love From Philly
Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
