July 28, 2023 – Marquette – Marquette’s DDA showcases blueberries, downtown sidewalk sales, and numerous tents of gifts and goodies plus 3 stages of music for the annual BlueBerry Festival. People from hundreds of miles came and it was literally a wall-to-wall wave of people from 10am to 7pm as they closed off the downtown streets.
2 smaller singer-songwriter stages were on both ends of the downtown L, by the post office and by Getz’s of West Washington and Front.
Right in the middle of downtown was Great Lakes Radio’s portable 14′ by 34′ stage. 41West ended the 4 bands as the Main Stage Entertainment. Crowds of folks were glued to the band, the New Orleans style music, and making old song news again with a positive message. 41West would love to play your festival next year. For bookings, please contact Todd at 906-361-3325.
A Look Back at UP CityFest 2023
By Adam Rifenburgh On September 7th, 2023July 1, 2023 – Marquette, MI – UP CityFest began a major 4-day music festival continuing into International Foodfest this summer. 41West was hired to be a MainStage presenter. We played 2 shows on Saturday, July 1st in Lower Harbor Park, downtown Marquette. Thousands of people were in attendance for the weekend which also included the Stunt Dudes and 2 main label recording artists Becca Shay and Cade Thompson on the Main Stage with 41West. During our 2 sets, people enjoyed the brass on top with the Hammond and the band creating that New Orleans flavor of making old songs new again and they appreciated our originals.
