AIF Music Festival

We were very blessed this past Sunday to have the opportunity to host a music festival in midtown Atlanta featuring some very talented local artists. Each of the artists was very unique in their own sound and presentation and brought so much energy and meaning to the festival.

The day was hot, but the food catered by fellowship members, the enthusiasm of the audience and the ambience of Coan Park, helped at least make the heat bearable. We were assisted by the absolutely awesome coffee shop, Breukelen Mojo, nearby with a place people could grab a drink or find some a/c.

Our festival had the sounds of Mika of Smyrna, Alex Neely, Mikhail Peterson, Kerry Wentworth, Reverend Bob and the Wayne Fishell Experiment.

In the end, I believe we each found new faces, friends and perspectives to consider. The purpose of the festival was to bring a wide variety of people together through music and that was definitely accomplished.

Next year's festival and possible expansion through this year's artists and participants is something I look forward to seeing.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the 1st annual American Islamic Fellowship Music Festival a success!!
