Looking for a place to play in public? We can help with that! Are you a garage band that is looking for a public venue to play at? Maybe you play a musical instrument and always wanted to give busking a try? Perhaps you have aspirations of becoming a rapper or other solo performer? We would like to invite any and all musical acts to come entertain the residents of Bedford, OH. The Bedford Downtown Alliance is pleased to announce that they will be sponsoring First Fridays. We are seeking musical acts, buskers and other performers to entertain visitors to our Downtown area during the First Fridays. As we are a fledgling organization, we do not have money to pay acts BUT we are happy to welcome fledgling performers. We can provide a public venue where you can gain some experience playing in public or to record a demo tape. We are now up to a few hundred attendees at our 1st Friday gatherings. Our only requirement is that you need to be family friendly (no foul language or violent lyrics). Our next First Friday is October 4th from 6-9pm. The theme for this 1st Friday is "Around The World". For this event, we would love to host performers playing some kind of cultural music. That being said, we will take any music and we have several more 1st Friday dates available as well.
