The Black Belt Community Foundation (BBCF) announced the 2025 Levitt AMP Selma Music Series’ impressive lineup of artists to perform at Selma’s Riverfront Amphitheater from June 21 to Oct. 25.

Families, friends, and neighbors are invited to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and coolers to the amphitheater lawn as the community gets the chance to experience the power of free live music brings our community together.

Sponsored in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, a social impact funder supporting nonprofits nationwide at the intersection of music, public space, and community building, the Levitt AMP Music Series injects new life into underused public spaces through free, outdoor concerts across the nation. This is the third year that BBCF has received support from the Levitt Foundation and has been able to present this concert series through vital partnerships across the Selma and Dallas County community including the City of Selma and the Selma-Dallas County Chamber of Commerce.

The Levitt AMP Selma Music Series will present a total of 10 free, family-friendly concerts to the public this summer into the fall at Selma’s Riverfront Amphitheater. The series will feature a diverse lineup of high-caliber talent spanning genres like jazz, bluegrass, and gospel. Every show will have a different theme, encouraging concert goers to enjoy a “stay-cation” in downtown Selma.

Kicking off the series on Saturday, June 21, was Reggae on the River featuring the renown reggae artist REEMAH and her band.  Also scheduled to perform are Pynk Beard (country), Dylan Triplett (blues), Rockin’s Dopsey and the Zydeco Twisters (zydeco), Sherri Brown (R&B), Lisa Knowles Smith and the Brown Singers (gospel), E Heard (hip-hop/rap), Trap Jazz (jazz), the Seratones (rock), and FPJ (southern soul). Last year’s concert series held a few surprises… this year will have even more amazing talent and fun surprises.

A variety of food trucks and vendors from across the region will be on hand for every show to satisfy almost any food or beverage craving. The Levitt AMP concert series will be held inside Selma’s Riverfront Amphitheater, right across from the Evans Reception Hall located at 3 Lawrence Street in Downtown Selma.  Admission is free.

In November 2022, Selma was named one of 33 small to mid-sized towns and cities across America to receive a Levitt AMP Selma Grant Award of $90K in matching funds to present a free concert series at Selma’s Riverfront Amphitheater in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The Black Belt Community Foundation along with the City of Selma and the Selma-Dallas County Chamber of Commerce submitted the grant proposal and presented the inaugural Levitt AMP Selma Music Series in 2023. In an effort to inspire and engage communities across the country around the power of creative placemaking, the Levitt Foundation invited the public to choose the Top 20 finalists through online and text voting.
