It’s time for our city to raise a loud voice about its contributions to American popular music. Join us for opening weekend of St. Louis Sound, an exhibit that serves as your introduction to St. Louis music, telling the stories of legendary musicians, world-class songwriters, unique venues, and groundbreaking technologies. Throughout the weekend enjoy live performances on multiple indoor and outdoor stages, hands-on activities, and presentations from the team who created the exhibit and the people who have their pulse on the STL music scene. Whether you’re into jazz, blues, ragtime, folk, hip-hop, or Americana, you’re sure to find something incredible.
