Inspired by the desire to unite communities through music, The Underground Storm Festival Series was formed to create true harmony by uniting diverse musical genres under one roof at an event the entire family could enjoy. Every genre will be represented from Rock to Hip Hop, Gospel to Spoken Word, and everything in between. Proceeds from each event will be donated to a different community organization; the first event in the series will benefit the House of Umoja.
The Underground Storm Festival will feature the areaâs finest artists and musicians on the main stage â showcasing the best talent each genre has to offer. Philadelphia native Montana Blak will headline this festival. On the second stage, the areaâs open mic venues will sponsor open mic sessions that will spotlight even more local artists and give audience members a chance to showcase their skills.
