Overtown was once the "Harlem of the South," the epicenter of music in Miami.  It was a vacation spot for Thurgood Marshall and poet Langston Hughes, a place where you were likely to hear Count Basie andAretha Franklin playing music and singing into the wee hours

The Overtown Music Project will try to capture that former glory in an event on January 22nd in a bespoke graffiti garden at Wynwood Kitchen & Bar: 2550 NW 2nd Ave., Miami, FL

Please help us celebrate the music!

Overtown Music Project, a non-profit that celebrates the music, history and spirit of Overtown. (Note: Overtown used to be called the "Harlem of the South.")

Saturday, July 17th from 8 - 11pm. There will be music, soul food and a bit of Miami's history.

Carmel Ophir, owner of The Vagabond, one of Miami's most recognized music venues, will be spinning Motown. There will also be a live jazz performance by the legendary Charles Austin - and the best cobbler, bread pudding and red velvet cake you've ever tasted!
