About this Event
"Music, Art, Life" at Kenny Dorhams' Backyard will be a culturally immersive experience sharing music of varying genres from R&B to Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop, House, Rock, etc. via live performance and DJ sets as well as featuring art from local and national artists in multiple disciplines. The day will be one that shows the power of the arts in general and specifically Music, visual and the performing arts.
Named for the legendary jazz trumpeter and East Austinite, Kenny Dorham’s Backyard is an outdoor music venue, located in the heart of the historic East End cultural district, just down the street from Kenny Dorham’s last home in Austin. Home to the Austin Jazz and Arts Fest, East End Summer Music Series, SoulFest, and the Backyard Blues Series, the bulk of the live music programming honors the traditional African American music community- jazz, blues, rhythm and blues and gospel- once anchored along East 11th Street in classic venues such as the Victory Grill and Charlie’s Playhouse. We are pleased to be able to present "Music, Art, Life" here (for the third year) that will celebrate culture in diverse forms from live music, to DJ sets, a fashion show, visual art as well as a vendors market.
