Busking, an iconic NYC hustle, comes to downtown Dallas
Briefly

Dallas Sounds Amplified is an initiative in Dallas aimed at promoting local musicians through public performances, transforming busy areas into stages for emerging talent. Launched on April 3, after a successful pilot, this program features 18 musicians, including Alexandra Pritchard, who performs at various downtown spots. The initiative responds to criticism about the city's music scene and seeks to integrate music into daily life, reinforcing Dallas’s designation as a music-friendly community by fostering a deeper appreciation of live music.
In 2021, Dallas was designated as a music-friendly community by the Texas Music Office, highlighting the city's commitment to attracting and developing music industry growth.
Kristina Kirkenaer-Hart emphasized the importance of public music, saying, 'We will never be considered as a destination for music if you don't hear it in public places.'
Alexandra Pritchard expressed gratitude for the opportunity to perform, calling it a way to 'soundtrack' the lunch break for her audience.
Dallas Sounds Amplified aims to create pseudo-stages for local acts, transforming high-traffic spots into venues for emerging musicians.
