To celebrate the 10th anniversary of nonprofit Onyx Echelon 85 Enterprises, an organization that serves as a hub for the independent arts, owner Akeeme Martin is throwing a one-day indoor festival called Southern Hospitality that features a variety of vendors and musical acts. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. with a set by DJ Charlieflower and De La Luna. Other performers include pop singer-songwriter Lex Hayley, lyrical rapper and singer Sxvxnt, alternative indie-rock band BCKS, punk/goth/metal band Vickis Dream, alt rock band The Unknown, multigenre band Stardust Sonata and indie-psych-folk band Mannequin Party. ‘70s folk and pop rock-inspired musician Freeman Leverett will close the show. Martin says his goal in putting on Southern Hospitality is “to celebrate by doing what I love with people that I love in a city that I’ve channeled so much of my love to through the airwaves for 10 years and through the many projects and collaborations for now another 10 years,” and he is happy to do so at one of the first venues to open its doors to his projects
