Sound Mind Music Festival for Mental Health returns to the streets of Brooklyn on May 18th, and Consequence is proud to be the event’s official media partner. The free fest, presented by music and mental health non-profit Sound Mind Live, will feature headlining performances from Kevin Morby and MisterWives, sets from Bailen and SHAED, and an afterparty with DJ White Shadow.
Taking over Jefferson Street (between Irving Ave and Wyckoff Ave) in Bushwick, the event kicks off at noon and will be much more than just a concert. Between indulging in food and drink provided by New York institution Smorgasburg, attendees will be able to partake in Sound Sessions focused on holistic mental health programming like yoga, mindfulness, and breathwork sessions.
Between sets, there will also be a series of mental health-focused panel discussions, including Mental Health in Communities of Color, Mental Health in the Music Industry, Mental Health in the LGBTQ+ Community and The Importance of the Lived Experience. You’ll also be able to pop into the iconic House of Yes for DJ sets and dance parties throughout the day.
The street fest is free to all, and you can secure your tickets via Eventbrite! However, donations of $150 or more will grant you access to the official afterparty at Brooklyn venue Elsewhere to witness DJ White Shadow (known for his production work with Lady Gaga) working the ones-and-twos. Or, you could just keep it locked on Consequence for our upcoming VIP giveaway (hint, hint!).
Sound Mind Music Festival for Mental Health is helping raise funding for the upcoming Sound Mind Center. The pioneering music and wellness center will be dedicated to the same sort of transformative healing experiences, programming, and workshops you’ll find at the fest, as well as music showcases, concerts, and open mic events.
