SAM 2010: Music For the People. Revives the ears. Works with the planet.
After a huge success last year, Downtown Long Beach Associates (DLBA) and the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency (RDA) are bringing Summer And Music (SAM)—the city’s homegrown, sustainable concerts series providing an entire summer of free music to the public—back to the streets of downtown Long Beach this coming June for a solar-powered sequel.
This year’s itinerary features 13 eclectic music events, including some favorites from last year, such as Battle of the Tribute Bands, Funk Fest and BuskerFest. Concerts—held outdoors in Rainbow Harbor, the East Village Arts District and along Pine Avenue—will span the genres of folk, jazz, pop, rock, funk and beyond, bringing together artists and art enthusiasts of all kinds.
Showcasing a renewed focus on environmental concerns, all concerts will be held on self-contained solar-powered stages. The DLBA and RDA, in conjunction with SAM founding members, are partnering with Sustainable Waves, an Austin-based all-solar staging, lighting and sound company offering 100 percent pollution-free concerts.
To that end, SAM is a homegrown development on all fronts. It’s founded by two Long Beach residents with strong musical connections to the city: Justin Hectus, founder of Schooled In Song, and Rand Foster, owner of popular local record shop Fingerprints. SAM features an abundance of local and regional talent, including Long Beach musicians, photographers, graphic designers and media professionals. And, it generates enormous support from and revenue for local businesses and community organizations. In short, SAM is of the people and for the people.
