Miami DDA: DWNTWN Concert Series - March: Spam Allstars
The March installment of the Miami Downtown Development Authority's (Miami DDA) DWNTWN Concert Series features Spam Allstars.
I want to just redirect everyone back to the last post I put up about the Miami DDA:
These [important] people feel that local music and arts can further their goals of developing the downtown area.
How’s that for justification of the strength of the music and art scene? Let’s put it in perspective for a second. This group has access to hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, to develop a strong business center in downtown Miami. These people don’t “believe in the scene” or have a true passion for the music or the arts - in the idea that they’re willing to blindly throw money at the arts for the sake of supporting the arts. They invest in a business (in this case local musicians and artists) only if that business will benefit their projects and their pockets. They’ve looked at what we’re doing here for music and arts and they feel that YOU, as an artist and musician, can help them make money and create a successful downtown area.
So please support these guys, they're trying to do some great things.
