Been to any free concerts this summer? Anyone PLAY a free show this summer?
Went to four myself. While the music was great each time, we should also recognize the stellar venues that host these events… π€
“The Gift of Free Concerts” ππΆπ
Latest story available through the blog link. Thank you again to the artists and the venues!
π§ DJ Logic & Friends @thewellmonttheater Arts Plaza
πͺΏMSG Preshow Party @hillcountrybbq
π¦ Borboletta @levittpavilion
π TAUK with Kanika Moore @huntingtonarts Heckscher Park

Let’s TAUK for a second. Musicianship, song composition and smarts, this is one of the best pound-for-pound bands out there. Jam fusion fun, with Kanika Moore on the π€ last night.
And what a stunning autumn evening in summer it was. First time to Heckscher Park in Huntington out on Long Island—cool venue, adorable town.
“Eldridge Awakes” clip here, more highlights through the channel link. Time to TAUK πβοΈ

Doesn’t everyone own a hoodie, maybe multiple? They’re classic. Ubiquitous. In many cases, a personal statement. And it’s my defining article of clothing… π€
“(How Much Is) That Hoodie in the Window?”
Nice and tidy here, check it out through the blog linkβοΈπ€ Plus it includes a little about another passion of mine, Formula 1 ποΈπ
What’s your favorite hoodie? π

Never enough percussion πͺπͺ
Stunning summer night for the songs of Santana. Borboletta, featuring guys from well-known bands in the jam scene, crushed it. This is not your average tribute act π¦
“Batuka” opening here, plenty more highlights through the channel link π And nothing but love for Levitt Pavilion in Westport—great venue and even better staff π
Again, never enough percussion πͺπͺ

Worlds collide. I’ve been a reader of Relix and a fan of the Grateful Dead for many years. I also happen to love graphic tees and I work in the print industry. Hmm… π€
“‘Print is Dead’ T-Shirt Puts Roses on 50 Years of Relix” π¨οΈπππΉππ
Really had some fun with this one, check it out through my blog link. And congrats to @relixmag on the golden anniversary! ππ

Familiar faces in tight spaces for a thirsty Thursday super jam. Members of TAUK, Lespecial and Lotus playing (mostly) instrumental arrangements of (mostly) ‘90s hip-hop classics.
Pure joy watching pure talent collaborate and crush in an intimate setting. Definitely check out the Goodhouse Social Club in quaint Mount Kisco.
One of the most fun shows of the year. “Regulate” clip here, more amazing highlights through the channel link πβοΈ

Absolutely gorgeous weather for a show last night, and Rüfüs Du Sol delivered the goods big time with a diverse set of emotions πΉπ»πͺ©
I wasn’t quite from the second row, but different perspectives are nice—Rüfüs Du Sol gave me a little perspective, too π€
Clip from the beautiful and smart “Innerbloom” here, more through the channel link. Happy Sunday Funday πβοΈ

No matter how absurd or odd or surreal something is, a deeper meaning exists. Prime example: the πͺ©π¦that appeared at the πͺ· show recently in King of Prussia. Had some thoughts π€
“Lotus, Life, and Your Disco Kangaroo”
Hop on over to my blog for this latest story—the message here is for more than just Lotus fans πβοΈ

The New Deal + Joe Russo. The RuDeal. They should just call it The Real Deal. Amazing night of “live progressive breakbeat house” πͺ©
Is there a more versatile drummer than Joe Russo? Saw him with The Brothers a few months back, now this. Sooo good π₯
And no better venue for this dance party than Xanadu Roller Arts. First time there. Unique setting, but no skating last night πΌ
Full highlights through my channel link π Happy rest of the weekend βοΈ

I’ve been fascinated with re- words for the last month. New beginnings can be transformative. These things connected at the outset of July when I started running again, and I had some thoughts π€
