Forget about film — at least for a minute. The Sundance Film Festival brings together the music world for 10 days in Park City, while it empties the starlets out of Hollywood. Park City's Main Street venues, such as Harry O's and Downstairs, are joined this year by the House of Blues Foundation Room, which is taking over the Star Bar during the festival. In addition, festival organizers and sponsors are presenting music showcases that include the Sundance ASCAP Music Café, roundtable discussions and performances by musician Lou Reed.
