Philly Music Fest was founded in 2017 by Jenn and Greg Seltzer and is curated and produced by Greg Seltzer. Jenn and Greg are devoted Philadelphians, both raised in the Philadelphia region. Our mission is to host a music festival celebrating and featuring Philadelphia musicians – with a slight twist.
By structuring Philly Music Fest as a non-profit, and eliminating compensation typically paid to a producer or promoter, we are able to pay musicians well to play the festival, then donate money to local music education for children. The beauty of Philly Music Fest is that in an effort to reinvest in the Philly music community, we all come together and enjoy a massive dose of live music, celebrating the music of Philadelphia.
