Northrop Summer Music Festival (NSMF), previously called Summer at Northrop, is a free, outdoor summer concert series featuring well-known local musicians and DJs, alongside U of M student bands as a way to support our University talent. We work with local musicians and an energetic Student Advisory Committee (a team of volunteer, motivated, music and PR savvy U of M students) to curate the series. The line-up is an eclectic taste of everything from hip-hop, dance music, singer-songwriter, folk, Latin, and spoken word.
The concert schedule includes:
- Fri, Jun 7 | 7:00PM Charanga Tropical with DJ Fatty (Salsa dance party)
- Wed, Jun 12 | 12:00PM The Tasty Tones (U of M student guerilla funk)
- Fri, Jun 21 | 7:00PM Chastity Brown with Southwire and The Ericksons (Americana soul)
- Wed, Jul 10 | 12:00PM Steve Kaul and The Brass Kings (Pre-Industrial Experimental)
