An excerpt from Youngstown Local Music's latest press release:
Youngstown, Ohio (April 20, 2009) - As certain as the summer sun, VexFest - Mahoning Valley's Musical Staple - is back to shine a mere glimpse of the musical virtuosity that lies within a radius of Downtown Youngstown. For years, VexFest has been the poly-faceted channel by which local, regional, and touring bands could broadcast their frequency to a wide, willing, and actively tuned-in audience.
In typical fashion, this year's show will gaze the genre-gamut of over 40 of the region's you-nique and buzz-fuzzin' acts on multiple stages within the bounds of West Federal Street - which means not a second of dead air. With a primarily heavy rock focus in the past, VexFest 6 will be as eccentric and spontaneous as the citizens who call the Mahoning Valley home. VexFest 6 is slated to grace Downtown Youngstown on Sunday August 23, 2009. The show is FREE to the public.
