Samuel Nalangira will be performing at 5:45pm this summer, at the annual Pumpstock Music Festival in East Lansing for its 16th year, an effort that’s made possible by supportive community members, event organizer Dudley “Smitty” Smith said.

The Pumpstock festival, held in the Bailey Neighborhood, will feature musicians from Lansing to Uganda from 2-8 p.m. on Saturday, June 6. The festival includes artists who tell stories through their music, Smith said.

“It’s really about the songwriting as well as playing instruments – but you know, good lyrics,” he said.

This year’s festival will feature eight bands and a music workshop on two different stages in Bailey Park. Additionally, there will be vendors and activities for people of all ages. Pumpstock is free to attend, but is collecting donations through Kickstarter.
