The Amplify Decatur Music Festival has been turning live music into community support since 2010 — and a decade ago, it claimed the Decatur Square as its home. This week, the festival marks ten years outdoors with a lineup headlined by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, on a brand-new downtown stage about to host its very first concert. On this episode of WABE Arts, Sherri Daye Scott talks with co-board chair Mike Killeen about what it took to build a festival around a cause, why music and anti-poverty work belong together, and what it means to finally land an artist that's been on the wish list for years. The Amplify Decatur Music Festival runs June fourth through seventh on and around the Decatur Square. 🎵
