With 38,812 viewers still swooning over the video, MAMM is celebrating love and music by bringing the video to life on Friday, Feb. 15 at the Big Easy.
The “Be in Love, Playing For Change, Playing For Maine, Maine Academy of Modern Music” video featuring local musicians performing the song "Be In Love" will be part of the festivities at the Big Easy on Friday, Feb. 15.

“This video was a labor of love, all the filmmakers and musicians donated their time and talent in the name of music and we want to celebrate them. As a music school, it’s our mission to foster music, this video helped us do just that, creating awareness for our school, as well as the incredible local talent we have in our city,” explained Jeff Shaw, executive director of MAMM.
