One of the confirmed artists for this year’s Beau Fleuve Music & Arts Celebration is a soft rock sibling band from New York City INFINITY SONG. With a blend of tight vocal harmonies, dreamy lyricism, and sublime guitar riffs, the band creates a transcendent experience – amassing millions of views and attention from some of Hollywood’s biggest names. Their sound has led many listeners to compare the band to legendary 70s groups such as Fifth Dimension, The Mamas and the Papas, and ABBA.
Through Beau Flueve’s foundation, they create music and arts programs for Inner City Youth ages 5-22 and service the community at large through arts, cultural, and community placemaking such as after-school programs and workshops, summer arts programs, public art initiatives, paid summer internship program, community cleanups, seasonal givebacks, high school scholarships, and more.
