The sixth annual Lubbock Lights Festival will be hosted on April 16 by Texas Tech. This yearâs festival will be virtual and taking place via pre-recorded stream for the second year in a row due to COVID-19.
The Lubbock Lights Festival began in 2015 to celebrate the musical roots and creativity of the South Plains, Dóri Bosnyák, the lead administrator for the Presidential Lecture and Performance Series, said.
âEvery year we highlight a couple of artists from the area or who went to Tech and are inspired by the musical traditions of the South Plains,â Bosnyák said.
Lubbock is well known for its musical history and has been called a shining light of music and referred to as âthe heart of Texas musicâ according to Texas Monthly Magazine in 2016.
