FOur Corners Music Festival
For several years I've coordinated the music talent for the City of Melrose's Four Corners Music Festival.
Responsibilities: Prior to the event, I was responsible for collecting applications, vetting and scheduling talent, as well event promotion (including designing below graphics). During the event, my job is scheduling and managing musicians to give event sponsors a hands-free experience.
While I've coordinated this event for many years, below showcases the 2017 event.
Event Details
Music, arts and community have always been vibrant in Melrose. Continuing in this tradition, Mayor Dolan and the City of Melrose are excited to announce the Fourth Annual Four Corners Music Festival, which will feature TWO STAGES of local musicians from all age groups.
Bands include Bourbon Chasers, Pulse Reunion, Shakey Jake & the Blue Vibrations, Squidhead, and Free Range Chickens.
Starting at 3pm, bring a blanket, lawn chairs, and the family for an awesome evening of music at the Cabbage Patch field in front of the middle school at 360 Lynn Fells Parkway.
There will be several fun bands as well as individual performances from talented Melrose residents including a special feature from ‘Music 101’. Event goers can participate with a community art project lead by ‘Follow Your Art’ and Recreation staff will be on hand to play games with kids through the duration of the event.
Gourmet food trucks, Flatbread Pizza, and Cinnamon Shack, will be on site so bring your appetite! This event is a great way to help connect neighborhoods while also further supporting our fine arts community.
