Michael Miller with Guitars Over Guns CEO Chad Bernstein Talk "Elevated Tracks 305"

Miami is one of the most musically influential cities in the world. From Latin pop and hip-hop to jazz and electronic music, its sound has traveled globally. Yet unlike cities such as New York or San Francisco, Miami does not have a formally adopted anthem.

That may be about to change through a new independent, community-driven cultural initiative.

Elevate Miami and Guitars Over Guns are launching “Elevated Tracks 305” in collaboration with the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. The global open call invites creators anywhere in the world with a meaningful connection to Miami to compose an original, contemporary anthem that captures the city’s rhythm, complexity, resilience, and cultural influence.

In this episode, Michael Miller and Chad Bernstein, Founder & CEO of Guitars Over Guns talk "Elevated Tracks 305" and more about Guitars Over Guns.

Submissions are now open and will close on March 30, 2026.

Winners will be announced in early May. Learn more at: www.elevatecities.org/miami/elevatedtracks305/
