It's time to get amped about Fort Worth music

Published on April 28, 2024

This summer the Fort Worth Public Library launches its newest music venture, the Amped Up Music Tour.

Promoting, live, local and unique music across the city, the library will host four free concerts at various Fort Worth locations from May through August.

Open to all ages, the tour invites the community to experience the unique energy and sound of Fort Worth music with performances from the Western Flyers (country/swing), Igimèjí (R&B) and Court Hoang (rock/pop) and Amplify 817 artists. The tour will conclude with its fourth and final stop at the third annual Amplify 817 Showcase on Aug. 17 featuring an electric lineup of Amplify 817-affiliated artists.

What they're saying: "Bring a friend. Invite the family. Make it a date-night," said music librarian Rita Alfaro. "The Amped Up Music Tour invites all ages to come out and enjoy music made in and by their community."

Check out these stops on the tour:

• The Western Flyers: 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, May 2, Burnett Park, 501 W Seventh St.
• Igimèjí: 2-5 p.m. Saturday, June 22, East Regional Library, 6301 Bridge St.

"We are so excited to showcase such an important aspect of Fort Worth's culture - music being created right here," said Library Director Midori Clark. "This will be an experience you don't want to miss."
