Ok… I’ve been waiting (IYKYK) to share this, but can’t wait any longer. We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered once again with the Overton Park Shell to present Matthew Sweet as the headliner for the 2024 Festival on Saturday, Aug 31st.

Thank you Memphis! You showed up and showed out yesterday. We are so appreciative of our host and partner @TheShell901. The Sonny Wilsons and @BaseballProject rocked it! You made the 2023 version of the Memphis PowerPop Festival a success and we look forward to ‘24!

[Big Star @BigStarBand]

While there is no Big Star tribute band at this event (just to be clear), many of our friends -- including Mike Mills and Peter Buck of @remhq -- will perform with their band The Baseball Project at the Memphis PowerPop Festival! Also, The Sonny Wilsons (w/ Jon Auer!)

Allen here…

The name of our headlining band this year, The Baseball Project, is more than just a random title. They live and breathe the great sport of baseball and it’s embodied in their music and lyrics.

Ryan would go on to pitch almost 20 more years. Fidrytch won the AL Rookie of the Year and had a couple more standout seasons before injuries started to rack up.
