Music Summit
& Showcase

The music showcases at Confluence create unforgettable shared experiences for both artists and music lovers. Each year is different, but our focus is always to remove borders and expand minds.

This year our Music Summit, presented by Michigan Music Alliance, will open the festival on Friday. Instrument demos, vinyl swaps, open air jams, and more will fill Rosa Parks Circle. Los Angeles musician, author and blogger Ari Herstand will be the keynote speaker. Labeled the “poster child of DIY Music" by Forbes Magazine, Herstand’s books and podcasts have become the go-to resource for independent musicians looking to build a successful career in the music business. The Summit concludes with musicians taking over the main stage from 7p–10p.

Saturday includes a full slate of music beginning at 7p. Headlining is Missouri-based Fox Royale, a jangly indie-rock band that sparkles with energy. Stay tuned for the full music lineup.
