Winners Will Share the Stage with Big Names Like Nelly and Cole Swindell

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In another groundbreaking move that's disrupting the music industry, AirTab Music and Save Our Musicians Foundation are proud to announce their partnership with the legendary SunFest music festival. This dynamic collaboration gives the next two Open For An Icon champions the coveted opportunity to share the SunFest Main Stage in Downtown West Palm Beach with music superstars like Nelly and Cole Swindell. "SunFest's dedication to nurturing diverse and emerging talent aligns perfectly with our vision," says Dennis Cunningham, Founder and CEO of AirTab Music and Save Our Musicians Foundation. "Together we will be helping to catapult the future of music onto a national stage and in front of as many as 100,000 people at the festival."

Open For An Icon made waves across the United States this past December, by igniting stages at iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Boston. Audiences were captivated by the powerful vocals of Icon in Residence, Grammy Award-winning songwriter, Joelle James alongside the infectious energy of Open For An Icon winners, 15-year-old Ava Camejo of Jupiter, and the teenage rock-and-roll trio, Hello Sister, from Orlando. These up-and-coming performers shared the spotlight with music royalty such as Sza, Nicki Minaj, Usher, and OneRepublic. Now, SunFest presents the ultimate next chapter for this life-changing initiative, offering a prestigious platform for the future of music to explode into the limelight. "SunFest is thrilled to have local bands participate in Open For An Icon at the festival's 40th year under the sun," said Executive Director Dianna Craven. "There is a great deal of local talent in Palm Beach County and we're proud to have a special place for those musicians to shine.

"Together we will be helping to catapult the future of music onto a national stage and in front of as many as 100,000 people at the festival." Dennis Cunningham, Founder and CEO of AirTab Music and Save Our Musicians Foundation.
