Miami Beach Bandshell

Oh, how the stars are aligning for this one. Hannukah kicks off on December 25 and runs through January 2. Smack dab in the middle, spiritual hip-hoppin’ dude of awesomeness Matisyahu lands on Miami Beach with his Festival of Light holiday show. Miami’s own Electric Kif, who are as funky and jazzy as it gets, open the show.

Prepare to be graced by sets from two-time Grammy winner Snarky Puppy for back-to-back nights at the Miami Beach Bandshell on February 8 and 9. If you haven’t jammed to the band’s jazz-infused flair, prepare for maximum funkiness. Leading up to the live music, you can also partake in master classes, followed by performances from like-minded bands joining in on the festival. Also part of the GroundUp fun: the return of the Family Dinner experience on Saturday night, featuring eight guest artists performing collaborative tracks with Snarky Puppy.
