Indio, California (06/20/24) — AMP joins the “Make Music Day” Indio celebration with a day of live music and public participation on Friday, June 21, 2024.

“Make Music Day” is a one-day event where free, live musical performances, opportunities to make music and other musical events take place around the world on the longest day of the year. Musical festivities in Indio are part of a global celebration of music making in over 1,000 cities inspired by France’s Fête de la Musique.

AMP invites everyone from professional musicians to people who have never picked up an instrument to join in the global music celebration by attending the first AMP Make Music Day 2024, 2-9 p.m. on Friday, June 21, 2024 at 82719 Miles Avenue Indio, CA 92201. “The stage is ready to go for anyone who wants to ‘make music’ and/or be an audience to those who are. We would love to see all of you on this special day dedicated to music! And celebrate Summer Solstice the best way we know how…with music!” stated Abie Perkins, Musical Director of AMP. Music has been shown to strengthen social connectivity, reduce stress, lower blood pressure, stimulate memory and is integral to a well-rounded, enjoyable life. By participating in Make Music Day, AMP and the city of Indio encourage every form of music making. “AMP is proud to participate in our first Make Music Day. Music in the Coachella Valley and High Desert has increasingly become a part of the landscape and is essential to who we are and how we are connected”. – Michele Penn, Executive Administrator of AMP.

National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) members and partners from coast to coast, including AMP, will join in their communities’ celebrations of Make Music Day. June 21 is the perfect day to check out a local music store for some gear or to come together and play – whether it’s for the first time for the thousandth. Make Music Day is presented by the NAMM Foundation and coordinated by the Make Music Alliance. For more information, please visit www.makemusicday.org.
