Welcome to Festival of Friends - 2025!

A Message From Tom:
Hello Friends & Happy New Year! I'd like to THANK YOU for making 2024 another FANTASTIC and UNFORGETTABLE year of community music making! So many great performances this past year, by so many talented Festival of Friends musicians! We showed once again in 2024 that the best music is the music we make together with last year's programming and performances another shining example of that musical spirit in community action! So, without further ado, I am super-stoked to announce the Festival of Friends community programming line-up and calendar of events for the 2025, including our first Songmixers of the year (Soundtracks - Songs On Screen) on Friday, January 17 at Aurora Borealis. Let's Band Together!

Tom Tafelsky / FoF Founder & Community Programming Director
2025 Programming Overview
This year's community music-making formats will center on both Bandmixers Discography, Bandmixers Roulette and Songmixers Series programming with some additional programming surprises to be announced later this year!
Musically speaking, there is again an eclectic mix of eras and styles represented in FoF's 2025 Bandmixers programming including: Boston, Pearl Jam, Tracy Chapman, Counting Crows, Thin Lizzy, Motley Crue, Screaming Trees, No Doubt, Pink Floyd, The Fixx, David Bowie, The Cult, and more! I'm looking forward to bringing the community together again in 2025 and welcoming those of you who may be new as well. Thank you for all your continued support and musical inspirations. 2025 promises to be another amazing year of community music and performance! Happy New Year everyone! Much love, -Tom |
