What’s up Bukrewe, we’re hosting a fundraiser for Upbeat Academy at The Drifter Hotel on March 14th from 2-11pm! Come celebrate the beginning of the festival season in New Orleans with a day full of vendors, food, and vibes.

Upbeat Academy graduate PlayerOne will be bringing in the feel good to kick off the greatest week of the year! We will also be having a voter registration booth setup for you to register to vote in this crucial election year!

All of the entrance fee and raffle proceeds will go toward supporting Upbeat Academy: The Upbeat Academy Foundation is a Louisiana non-profit corporation formed by Winter Circle Productions members in 2013 that provides children with an opportunity to learn how to produce and perform hip-hop and electronic dance music. Local DJs and producers hold daily classes in the UPBEAT studio where students have access to equipment like laptops, mixers, turntables, controllers, microphones, headphones, various instruments, and the latest music production software. UPBEAT also seeks to introduce its students to the business side of the music industry, offering real-life experience, case studies, and opportunities for the kids to meet their favorite musicians.
