This Weekend: MFTM
For those of you new to Lawrence or curious about its fine local music scene, fret no more. Saturday brings the fourth annual Music for the Masses (MFTM) to your doorstep. er. downtown area with an entire day of local music acts all for the low price of...free.
Beginning at noon in South Park, 12th and Massachusetts streets, the all-day event will feature a range of local talent including folk-jam band crossover Billy the Squirrel, bluegrass instrumental funk-jazz from The Yards, and dirty, sweaty indie rock courtesy of Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk.
Keeping consistent with the local theme, Lawrence food vendors such as Riverfront Catering will be providing BBQ along with other tasty local treats. The show will provide live music from noon until 11 p.m., so bring some friends and a fresh set of ears as Music for the Masses gives Lawrence what it wants most: damn good live music for no charge.
