As the Del Ray Music Festival celebrates their 6th year, they have found that one day is just not enough for all of the talented musicians in and around Del Ray so this year they are hosting Del Ray Music Week! From Monday, June 18th through Friday, June 22nd over 40 bands and musicians will perform at various establishments on Mt. Vernon Avenue, both indoors and out.  With such a variety of styles (folk, rock, indie, pop, jazz, electronic, avant garde, bluegrass, punk, country, childrens music) there's certainly something for everyone! And don't forget, all this excitement leads up to the Del Ray Music Festival itself on Saturday, June 23rd! That means it's a total of six full days of music!
