The purpose of the Musical Family Tree Community Award is to recognize individuals who make a significant and meaningful impact on the Indiana music scene.

The objective is to help build a sustainable music economy that creates opportunities and income for musicians as well as increased awareness for original music both locally and internationally.
Several thousand people come to the Indy Jazz Fest every year. The festival’s success and popularity is because of the many extremely talented musicians who came to Indy (or stayed here) and continue to feed the jazz scene.
On Thursday, Sept. 22, the very first installment of Select Few Sessions will take place at Listen Here, featuring an interview and performance from Indianapolis rapper Fre$co.
Now heading into its ninth installment, the daylong, all-ages fest will return to Black Circle for a second straight year on Saturday, July 30.
