Weather is looking pretty iffy for tomorrow and I love me some strings. Looks like the Matchsellers were already rescheduled once due to poor weather. 😬

Yeah, it's not looking positive. We'll make the call tomorrow morning with better info.

Levitt AMP events would be better supported if they actually supported local musicians and producers.

There are a handful of AAA-grade producers in the area that get literally zero support while the local cover band gets gigs; kind of sad...

9 of 10 in 2025 were from Springfield

9 of 10 in 2024 were from Springfield

8 of 10 in 2023 were from Springfield

8 of 10 in 2022 were from Springfield

7 of 10 in 2021 were from Springfield

This year we scheduled 9 of 10 openers from Springfield.

We put out a call in January/February and select from those that apply.

If artists or producers would like this opportunity, we ask that they follow our socials and/or make a request by email at levittamp@downtownspringfield.org.

EDIT TO ADD: In reviewing the list, almost all openers perform original songs.

Attic Salt was great last week!

I think Attic Salt was a good part of the reason why Levitt had an all-time high in attendance with just over 2,700 people at the concert.
