Some moms and dads really know how to rock. The Bazillions band is the creation of Twin Cities’ parents/educators/singer-songwriters Adam and Kristin Marshall. They have years of experience performing indie-pop gigs with their former band The Humbugs and currently play to a much younger fan base. This is likely why EVERYONE loves them. Check them out on the Kids Edition of Common Sound VIRTUAL Music Festival! Tickets on sale now! www.commonsoundfestival.com.

The 2020 Common Sound Music Festival will again bring people together through the common experience of music and amplify the message that there is more that unites us than divides us. Because the COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily halted the worlds ability to physically bring people together, the festival has moved to an online experience. This year, Common Sound has partnered with the Twin Cities Film Fest to produce a compilation of recorded music video performances generously provided by incredible musicians. Purchased tickets will allow the viewer 5-days of viewing access. Two virtual concerts will be available, including a special Common Sound Virtual Music Festival: Kids Edition with fun family-friendly music. Net proceeds benefit Minnesota Central Kitchen and Second Harvest Heartland. With COVID-19 and our community’s food supply outlets facing disruptions from protests and riots, helping neighbors experiencing hunger is more necessary than ever. Second Harvest Heartland is committed to ensuring no one faces this difficult time hungry. Minnesota Central Kitchen brings together restaurants, caterers, and hunger-fighting organizations to continue to meet the growing need for meals in our community.
“There is only one thing for certain about the world in which we live—tomorrow is different than yesterday. But today we have an opportunity. We have an opportunity to shape a better tomorrow—to leave the world in a better place than we found it. This is the world we seek to create at Beth El Synagogue and this is why we’re committed to working beyond our walls to build anew. With this change it may be possible to reach even more people with the message of partnership and unity.” - Rabbi Avi Olitzky, Beth El Synagogue
The Common Sound Music Festival began in 2018 to amplify the belief that music can be a powerful catalyst for bringing people together from different backgrounds and religious faiths to strengthen our community. The festival has become a true celebration of diversity using music as its platform of common ground.
Common Sound Music Festival will provide ticketing links and updates on the website: Commonsoundfestival.com. Tickets will go on sale June 10. Viewing dates are June 24 - 28.
