This years event will be held all day on September 17th, 2011 and promises to be better than ever with an amazing line-up of performers and an eclectic mix  of local artists, purveyors of fine foods and delights for both children and adults!

Sponsored by the East Liberty Community Council, the 9th and 9th Street Festival was conceived as a way to bring neighbors together in what has quickly become one of the city’s most unique, eclectic and desirable neighborhoods.  This is a celebration of a neighborhood put on by neighbors. Its free, its fun, bring the dog, the kids, the stroller and come on down to join the fun. We invite musicians, dancers, artists and crafters to make the day.

Chad Gourley is a singer/songwriter from the Salt Lake City UT area. With influences like Taking Back Sunday, Ben Folds, Dashboard Confessional and John Mayor, Chad has been sharing his love of music in local venues, bars, and coffee shops for over 7 years. He recently released his first solo EP, featuring acoustic based songwriting with melodic melodies that will inevitably get stuck in your head.

“There is energy created when a group of musicians play together and the energy is infectious.  It’s a conversion between the players and the audience. It brings people to their feet and makes the music  something to do. Without that connection, music is just something to listen to, or worse, just something in the background to hear.”

For many years, I have believed that young musicians in training need a place to get the coaching and experience needed to be effective combo and ensemble member… to explore, play and learn to love many kinds of music, and if they desire become prepared for a great musical experience in college, and as a future professional musician. The Wasatch Music Coaching Academy provides a complete opportunity for aspiring musicians to obtain the enjoyment and fulfillment they desire from their talents in music. With combo and ensemble coaching, superior music instruction, and a variety of programs, the student will develop the confidence and skills necessary to compete successfully in college music programs, create various levels of success in the music industry, or simply develop a sense of personal satisfaction with music. Through dedication, loyalty, and hard work on behalf of both the coaching team and the students, this vision becomes a reality.

-David P. Murphy, Director
