NOVO Instrumental Music Festival

A new musical festival in Baltimore gets going today, and continues to run throughout the rest of the week. The NOVO Instrumental Music Festival will take place at the Windup Space.

The festival will be a five night event, each paying tribute to local music of the word-less variety. Each show will run you five bucks, with the exception of tonight's show which is free. A fifteen dollar pass is available that will grant you access to all five nights.

The lineup is worth noting throughout the week, but the standout night has to be Friday with Jason Urick, Microkingdom, and Notendo rounding out the bill.
