8-27-22 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - Celebrating International Strange Music Day

THE HISTORY OF INTERNATIONAL STRANGE MUSIC DAY

International Strange Music Day was created by Patrick Grant, a New York City musician and composer. The aim of the celebration was to get people to play and listen to types of music that they had not before. Grant believed that something as simple as broadening our musical taste can also make us broadminded and more accepting of others. He follows the mantra ‘listening without prejudice.’ Grant also picked the day to promote his new album “Fields Amaze” in 1997, as a way to honor his girlfriend’s father (and his artistic mentor) on his birthday. By 2002, the day became an international phenomenon with various artists and venues. This growing movement is now attached to concerts, hosts a record label, and gains popular support from summer schools. The day is also appreciated as a great way to stimulate young minds.
