Drink House Lounge & Exhibition
Back again this year, the festival will host the Music Maker Foundation Drink House Lounge and Exhibition in the Blues Stage lobby. This lounge and exhibition will feature art, a record listening station, artist meet and greets, a photo booth and music history/educational programming that reflects Music Maker’s mission and culture. The new Music Maker Drink House will give attendees a chance to take a peek at American music history.
The MMRF was founded to preserve the musical traditions of America's South by directly supporting the musicians who make it, ensuring their voices will not be silenced by poverty and time. Through programs dedicated to cultural access, musical development and musician sustenance, the Foundation gives future generations access to their heritage through documentation and performance programs that build knowledge and appreciation of America's musical traditions.
