San Diego Indie Music Fest enriches the diversity and culture that make our communities unique by celebrating independent music, art, business and thought, thereby creating positive change in our city and beyond.
"Music fans got a real treat this past week, when the Abbey in Hillcrest was the location for an all day music event, the San Diego Indie Music Fest. Not only were fans treated to a dizzying array of talent across the musical spectrum, but the showwas creatively staged in one of the most unique concert venues this city has to offer. Visually appealing on every level, the use of design elements of the building (a former church) for the three stages was a nice touch, with a balcony in front of stain glassed windows a particularly nice setting for solo acoustic acts. Best of all, there was an enthusiastic crowd from the start with each act setting the bar higher.
Lots of artists stood out, I mean it's hard to go wrong with a line up of over two dozen that includes local and national favorites like Lisa Sanders, Michael Tiernan, Jonatha Brooke, Danielle LoPresti and Erika Luckett. The rest of the bill however was more than up to that standard. Groups like rock and funk group Underground Railroad and pop duo Saucy Monkey kept the musical fare varied, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Likewise the crowd atmosphere was excellent- this was a gathering that really wanted to hear music. With little down time between acts, it's unique setting, and that impressive talent lineup, this festival looks to be one of the premiere indie music events on San Diego's annual musical calendar, and shouldn't be missed by any music fan."

What a remarkable evening. Here's to all of you for the vision, the talent, the courage and hard work you put in to make the first San Diego Indie Music Fest such an outrageously wonderful event. I am honored and thrilled to have been a part of it."

"That was an amazing day of music and more! The fest appeared to go off without a hitch (from an all day attendee), I was entertained and moved for 10+ hours and I am so proud that I was able to be a part of it. Jennifer (my love) was there from 2:30 until 11:00 and she listened to hours and hours of great music, had her hair done (hair art) painted a tile, had a 30 minute massage and bought jewelry! What a day for her as well! I heard nothing but glowing endorsements of the festival and I am sure everyone was touched with your passion and hopefully that was just the beginning of a much needed push for more and more Indie music and arts in San Diego and elsewhere.
"I can't express in words how important your collective cause is the world needs more good Karma and that was an extreme example of what happens when there is plenty of to go around and to be shared and enjoyed by all. You are all beautiful, talented, wonderful dear friends and guardians and warriors of all that is good in this world. Please never stop believing in your cause and never stop fighting to make a difference in this world (you do, in so many ways)."
- a 2004 SD Indie Music Fest Attendee
