Davis, California first launched Make Music Day in 2017, when the publisher of The Davis Dirt decided to bring this international celebration to her small, progressive city. Over the last few years, Davis’s senior centers, arboretum, food coops, train station, art centers, breweries, museums, post office, and music stores have all embraced Make Music Davis and hosted musical events.
This year, community radio station KDRT has taken the lead and is laying the groundwork for a fantastic day of music making. Their Earth Day Sing Out last month, with songs made by local musicians in honor of Earth Day, shows the station’s community building spirit, with a taste of what’s to come on June 21!
