The festival is a fundraiser for Rainier Valley Radio, KVRU 105.7 FM, a new community owned and operated low-power FM radio station that will reach thousands of listeners with local voices, arts and culture when it goes on the air in 2016.

“The Voice and America’s Got Talent find some of the nation’s most promising artists in the Rainier Valley,” said Tony Benton, festival producer and a founder of KVRU. ”Rainier Valley Radio KVRU 105.7 FM will give our local artists their big break like these national television shows are doing today.”

The festival, featuring locally-based national recording artists and entertainers is part of KVRU's efforts to amplify the diverse voices of Rainier Valley. KVRU is one of seven new Seattle low-power FM radio stations approved by the FCC to use the public airwaves to give communities an unprecedented slice of the media pie.

The event is also sponsored by Different Walks of Life Entertainment (DWOL) and SouthEast Effective Development (SEED).
