The Detroit Bass Fest is a Motown area celebration of an often overlooked instrument in the world of music: the electric bass (as well as it's "Parent" instrument the acoustic bass). The festival will include performances and workshops by bassists and their groups that will not only emphasize the entertainment value of the instrument but also education in areas of live performance, theory, technique and the overall potential of this great instrument. The audience will be encouraged to interact with performers as well as other audience members to make this a real down-to-earth and community event.
Because of cutbacks to music programs, many times events like the Detroit Bass Fest are not available to the youth, the Detroit Bass Fest is dedicated to using music as a catalyst to the education of students who have been traditionally under-served by the public schools, under-represented in higher education and deprived of opportunities that could enable them to realize rich and productive lives.
Special attention will be given to the youths who attend this event in making sure they get an up close and personal experience resulting in growth within themselves and a more well-rounded individual.
Yours truly,
Lester J Collie Jr.
