Monterey Music Summit is more than just entertainment

The first ever Monterey Music Summit is scheduled for October 20 & 21 at the County Fairgrounds in Monterey, CA. This festival will feature over 25 performances on 2 stages from a variety of music, including: Michael Franti & Spearhead, The Roots, G. Love & Special Sauce, Cake, Ozomatli, Céu, Brandi Carlile, Cobie Callait, ALO, Ian Ball (of Gomez), Tea Leaf Green, Zap Mama, Yard Dogs Road Show, Ollabelle, New Monsoon, West Indian Girl, Grash Hot, Band Bang Bang, Jessie Baylin, and more. Also featured will be spoken word presentations and other performance art, including a drum circle complementing many of the musical acts. It's more than just entertainment though. Besides art, the central focus of the festival is on political and social issues. It's said to be less of a festival and more of a forum, in which these issues will be addressed through speech, music, and more. The Monterey Music Summit is guaranteed to open your eyes, make you think, and show you an excellent weekend of music, art, and social change. Below is the ticketing information:
