The Details
I AM (Independent Art and Music) Festival
(Organizing for Haiti)
the I AM Festival has affirmed its position as the preeminent and most reliably sweet indie-rock festival in Connecticut. I AM returns to its established, sea-breezy pier-top perch in New London's Waterfront Park with its highest-profile lineup to date of touring acts and a cracking-as-always roster of Connecticut bands. It's organized again this year grassroots-style by a few dedicated New London scene-boosters, and costs nothing for all to enjoy.
In years past, I AM (which stands for Independent Art and Music) has displayed a knack for showcasing acts positioned at the point of making good on their breaks and their buzz.
All this on two stages, plus a tent full of vendors and crafters. Briefly, attention will be on New London. And I AM's organizers are using that opportunity to boost fans, touring bands and local bands all in one brushstroke.
I AM is dedicated to non-profit organizations, where 80% of the vendors represent non-profits. Partners In Health will be using this opportunity to raise awareness on Haiti, generate support in the local thriving music and arts community, and generate financial donors from local businesses.
