Philly Music Fest was founded in 2017 by Greg and Jenn Seltzer. All shows are curated and produced by Greg. As home-grown, devoted Philadelphians, our mission is to host a unique, hyper-local music festival that benefits our community, without large corporate and governmental oversight and involvement.

We operate Philly Music Fest a bit differently than your typical music festival. By structuring Philly Music Fest as a non-profit and organizing the festival and related events ourselves, we eliminate the need to pay producers and promoters. The result is that we pay our musicians very well, host our shows only at independently-owned venues and then donate profits to local music education programs that enable underprivileged kids to become the next great generation of Philly musicians.

We certainly love that the consequence of Philly Music Fest benefits the next generation of Philly musicians, but don’t miss the shows. Each year, we highlight and celebrate nationally recognized Philly bands, as well as emerging local bands, in the genres of Rock, Punk, Hip Hop, Bluegrass, Jazz, Pop and R&B. We hope you’ll join the cause and celebrate the music of Philadelphia.
