Artists who perform at Free Concerts in Public Sites are chosen by the concert presenters from the Arts Commission’s Musicians Roster featuring more than 180 L.A. County-based groups representing a range of musical styles. This online directory is accessible to the general public. Go to www.lacountyarts.org and click on “Musicians Roster.” The Roster is searchable by key word, name of artist, and by music style. Artists included are chosen by a panel of experienced and respected music professionals based on artistic excellence, cultural diversity and the ability to work cooperatively with other organizations as representatives of the Free Concerts program.
In addition to the free concerts, the Arts Commission also produces free participatory J.A.M. (Jazzed and Motivated) Sessions at six locations throughout L.A. County, including Mayberry Park in Whittier in the Fourth District. Complete schedules are available at www.fordjamsessions.org.
