New Orleans has jazz. Nashville has country (and western), and L.A. has hair metal and the sunset strip ...

For four years, Fresno Urban Sound Experience has served as celebration of those bands, musicians, promoters and venues that make up the city’s authentic sound.

You can be a patron of that sound by supporting the festival in its fifth year, Sept. 7th and 8th.
Know that this is about more than just music. It's about a vision of Fresno's urban core, and supporting those who support that vision. It's about the people and places that already exist setting a foundation for those who follow. So, forget what you’ve heard or think you know about downtown (or Fresno’s music scene for that matter). Experience it yourself.

This is the new downtown and it’s alive and fun. And yes, that’s very much OK. We're working on an awesome lineup this year. Help us spread the word.
