OK folks,
Those of you living in New York City know that one of the best things about being here in the summer (besides the abundance of shaved ice carts and mangos on a stick..mmmm) is the many opportunities to see free shows! In addition to the free Beyonce show-Thanks for the heads up Anita-there are many free shows left to see. Catch them before the summer is over!
River to River Fest:
Co-Sponsored by Pace University, there are a few gems left on the agenda of this summer long concert series including my personal fav Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. Good old Ted will be playing on Aug. 25th at 6:00 pm at the South Street Seaport. I’ll be working at the Jose Alberto show on September 7th. River to River runs until the September 10th.

East River Park Amphitheater
There have been shows running here all summer too, hosted by the east river music project. I saw an excellent show with Mobius Band and Meneguar earlier this summer and there are two shows left. Better get them before they’re over!

There is a show at the same venue this saturday, aug. 26th featuring a bunch of good bands including a Pace graduate’s band Sh-sh-sh-shark attack. Go for some sweet surf sounds on the east river!
McCarren Park Pool Parties
If you guys haven’t checked out this series yet, no better time than now! There are only two more weeks left of this excellent series. Next week The Walkman, Dr. Dog and Human Television. Who could ask for more? Look for me there too, I’ll be the one asking for your money.
