LIVE ON CENTRAL brings unique live music experience to St. Pete
Hosted by Alex Harris, LIVE ON CENTRAL offers a new take and personality on St. Pete’s music scene, showcasing local talent while also bringing in nationally and globally recognized acts. The series made its debut this summer when it welcomed legendary jazz and soul artist Gregory Porter to The Floridian.
“LIVE ON CENTRAL is more than a live music series,” Harris said. “It is the beginning of a new era for live music concerts in our eclectic funky artistic community.”
LIVE ON CENTRAL aims to amplify a part of the Burg’s artistic culture in a way it has not been promoted or celebrated – giving St. Petersburg its own live music cultural identity in the global music market. The unique and intimate series allows the audience to experience some of St. Pete’s local “raw talents,” while also engaging with featured performing artists in an intimate
and inspiring environment.
The LIVE ON CENTRAL music series not only celebrates and amplifies a unique live music experience for its attendees, but also benefits the Arts Conservatory for Teens’ Creative Workforce Development programming for pre-professionals in the local community, a local nonprofit organization connecting youth to the performing arts.
