Move Music Festival is an annual music festival in Albany, New York. The event includes performances from bands across multiple venues as well as a music industry panel discussion. [1] It features a diverse array of musical genres, including performers of alternative, indie, americana, hard rock, and EDM. [2]

History

Move Music Festival was founded in 2012 by Bernie Walters of Indian Ledge Music Group, a New York-based music production and management collective. [3][4] Walters has stated that the motivation for the creation of Move comes from his desire to give Capital Region musicians an opportunity to showcase their talents:

I have been to numerous festivals over the past few years and noticed some problems in them that I thought could be done better. Then I started working in the Albany area... and felt a need for an event such as this to highlight the region's talent. Albany is situated at a great crossroads; it only made sense.

— Walters, Infectious Magazine[5]
