Outdoor concert series continues downtown
Jul. 6, 2009 · 4:31 a.m.
Event organizers said the attendance at Friday’s Crossroads Music Festival downtown was the largest during an Independence Day weekend yet.
Denise Cutlip, a member of the Downtown Association of Ypsilanti, the group that puts the event on, estimated 400 people turned out for the show on Washington Street.
“For early in the year, it’s really good,” Cutlip said. “Usually it’s empty.”
Since the weekly outdoor concert series launched its fourth year June 5, there have been a couple occasions when the show had to be moved inside. She said on usual weekends, 600-800 people come down to watch the show.
Friday was also the launch of the event’s Artist Market. She local vendors will be at the booth selling their merchandise. She said the group has already been evaluating the new addition, and will be adding lights and electricity this week.
The show opened up with local folk band Night and Day, which played an acoustic set mostly original music. The band put the butts in the seat, but the headliner—Noteworthy Soul Band—got them up and moving.
Cutlip said she has been impressed with the lineup every week so far.
“We’ve been well received by all different parts of the community,” she said.
