The Overtown Music Project, a non-profit organization, believes that music is transformational and can act as an engine of change to revitalize impoverished communities. Their mission is a movement that shines a light on the different genres of music, celebrating the history and spirit of Overtown in its heyday.
On October 1, 2011 the Overtown Music Project invites you to put on your swankiest outfit and join them as they pay tribute to the greatest African American entertainers of the era and all juke joints that lined the streets of Overtown as they come one step closer to bringing the music back permanently to Overtown and funding its jazz and blues residency in the historic Lyric Theater.
