Urban Music Festival returned to Austin’s Auditorium Shores March 29 – March 30, 2019. Artists Blackstreet and Stokely headlined this annual two-day festival.
In 2005, the Urban Music Fest was created in response to the African American Quality of Life Initiative to create an experience in Austin, TX that lovers of R&B, Jazz, neo-soul, and gospel could enjoy. Founded by Donnie Little and Homer Hill in 2005, Urban Life Group was formed to organize the first festival to be held at the Town Lake Auditorium.
