Amplify My Community presents Amplify Decatur Music Festival on Saturday, April 23, 2022 on the downtown Decatur Square on the corner of Church Street and E. Ponce De Leon Avenue, Decatur, Ga.
Three-time Grammy Award winner Ben Harper is scheduled to perform along with two-time Grammy Award winners Old Crow Medicine Show, Americana legends Son Volt, and acclaimed soul performers The War and Treaty. The Saturday festival will also feature S.G. Goodman and the Mike Killeen Band.
Amplify Decatur is presented by Lenz and produced in partnership with Eddie’s Attic. All proceeds will be directed to Decatur Cooperative Ministry (DCM) to aid their efforts to prevent and alleviate homelessness in Decatur and DeKalb County. The 2021 festival weekend was held in October and featured Indigo Girls, John Paul White, Rodney Crowell, Blind Boys of Alabama, and Michelle Malone, and raised $50,000 for DCM.
“We’re excited about this incredible group of performers, and the opportunity to continue to support Decatur Cooperative Ministry’s vital work in our community,” said Drew Robinson, president of the Amplify My Community board. “We are eternally grateful to the city of Decatur, Eddie’s Attic, and so many incredible sponsors, especially Lenz, for making our community stronger through the power of live music.”
