Like Art-o-Matic 419! and the summer Art Walks, The Arts Commission of Greater Toledo has been busy establishing new community traditions—and on Friday, July 19 the ACGT continues its annual local music extravaganza, SoundTrek. This is the third installment of this live music experience, which has grown to include over 40 acts and 11 venues in Downtown Toledo. This year all the jams will be focused on Adams Street in UpTown—making it even easier to boogie over to each show. From the Main Library to Ottawa Tavern everything from folk to hip hop tunes will will fill the night. This year ther+e’s also an outdoor stage at Toledo’s newest landmark, the Toledo Loves Love Mural on the corner of 14th & Adams. TCP highly suggests catching the bluesy riffs of youngsters, The Bricks; the always fantastic Old School Fridays at Wesleys and getting a face full of rock with 33 1/3—there’s really too many good shows so try catching them all!
8:30pm-1am. $5 per venue / Weekend pass: $10 adv. & $15 night of. Adams Street, UpTown Toledo. 419-254-ARTS. www.theartscommission.org
