Urban Music Festival (often abbreviated as "AUMF") Austin Urban Music Festival is a two-day, national and local entertainment stage hosting, family-centric event that occurs in Austin, Texas, during the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. The festival is the one of the African-American–based festivals in the United States, featuring stages that focus specifically on hip-hop / R&B, Indie Soul, gospel / neo soul, and showcases local and unsigned African-American artists that have been never heard nationally.
SoulTree Collective The Festival also reaches out to the youth (ages 12 - 21) in the Austin area - teaching them the music industry through a non profit organization know as SoulTree Collective. SoulTree Collective was established a year after the Festival, and its participants are trained to perform on stage at the Festival - providing quality entertainment to festival goers who in turn get to witness the newest crop of Urban Music artists each year.
