Sixth Annual Downtown Berkeley MusicFest Free Kick Off Celebration Concert 8/1/13 5-7pm

To commence the festivities for Downtown Berkeley Association's sixth year MusicFest, Bay Area a cappella singers Talk of da Town (who appeared on NBC's "The Sing-Off") perform sizzling renditions of R&B, Motown and doo-wop hits. Their warm and joyful music will charm your socks off :) Feet at the ready you can then(as Clifton Chenier once said about Zydeco) "...dance, your aches and pains will disappear" to the sounds of Grammy nominated virtuoso accordionist Andre Thierry & his band Zydeco Magic. Andre and the band are cooking up a soulful bubbling cauldron of Zydeco Creole music that is stewed and imbued with hip-hop, blues, jazz and rock mastery! Both groups are performing in a free concert on Thursday, August 1st from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Downtown Berkeley BART Plaza.

This year's MusicFest features music performances and entertainment that run the gamut from top flight hip-hop DJ music to blues, soul, jazz, brass bands, klezmer, Middle-Eastern, classical Carnatic, bluegrass, twang-pop and cowboy genres. This cornucopia of musical and artistic blessings will be featured at venues throughout the Downtown area including: The Jazzschool, Jupiter, Freight & Salvage, Berkeley Public Library, Bobby G's Pizzeria, The Marsh, Subterranean Arthouse, Sliver Pizzeria and Berkeley Arts Festival. These events are just a sampling of the arts and entertainment that can be found all year round in Downtown Berkeley.
