HUNTSVILLE – It’s a week ahead of the Winter Solstice, but the Huntsville Music Office is already for a chill holiday experience ahead of the seasonal change.
Beginning Thursday, the Winter Blast Concert Series at The Orion Amphitheater promises some cool sounds from fresh local artists.
Presented by the Huntsville Music Office, the inaugural three-part series will feature 2023 Blast inductees. A free streaming platform administered by the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library, Blast features work by dozens of North Alabama artists.
Huntsville Music Officer Matt Mandrella said attendees can expect a dynamic range of genres and styles reflecting Huntsville’s rich musical tapestry.
“This dynamic series will shine a spotlight on the diverse and emerging talent that calls Huntsville home,” he said. “It provides a stage for artists to display their talents and underscores the importance of collaboration to promote local artistry.
“Each night promises to be a celebration of musical innovation and local creativity.”
The series kicks off Thursday with Samir Fields-Spruill, Samuel Penn and The N.E.I.G.H.B.O.R.S.
On Tuesday, Mulan Throneberry, C1ive and Ty Blackwell take the stage.
The series concludes Dec. 28 with Poor Rover, Kam Jones and Smorgasbord.
The music lasts from 5-8 p.m. each night. All Winter Blast shows are free; concessions are available.
