April 20 has been our deadline for musician registration since our beginning days of MMUP. So now that it is April 21st, the organizers will start laying out the schedule for June 21st. It’s looking good! About 90 musical acts have signed up to participate. It’s going to be a great day!

Musicians of all ages and abilities, regardless of instruments or genre (ragtime, folk, classical, rap, country, punk, heavy metal, and anything and everything else, so long as it’s family friendly) are welcome to sign up and join in the day long celebration of music.

Echoes of MMUP 2024 And here we are at the beginning of spring, remembering Summer Harmony at the beginning of [last] summer. Their harmonies are truly exquisite, and perhaps all the more so because they just sing together for the summer season.

Echoes of MMUP 2024 – On his flute, Dylan Dries improvises music as the inspiration strikes him. We are glad that MMUP is a place where that creativity can take flight!
