The Levitt AMP Twentynine Palms Music Series returns to Freedom Plaza This Saturday, with live music offerings every Saturday through October 24th. On this Fridays (9/26) Z107.7 “Up Close” show host Gary Daigneault will talk with organizer Audrey Philpot and one of the featured musical groups, “Alice Howe & Freebo”. 

Twentynine Palms was awarded a three-year grant from the Levitt Foundation, a nonprofit that brings free, live music offerings to outdoor public spaces.

Americana artists Alice Howe & Freebo have undeniable chemistry. Rock bass legend Freebo weaves his fretless stylings into Alice’s for a harmony-driven performance showcasing two uniquely compelling songwriters. All about the Levitt Amp music series on the Z107.7 “Up Close” show this Friday at 10:00 am live on Z107.7 FM radio and then as a podcast shortly afterward.
