Summer Festivals!

How are you going to spend your summer vacation? How about making some room on your summer schedule to catch some live music at one (or two) of the region's most excellent summer music festivals. This summer we have the privilege of appearing at two of the country's biggest and best music festivals. Our first stop is right here on Long Island. On July 20, 2014, we will be performing on the main stage of The Great South Bay Music and Arts Festival at Shorefront Park in Patchogue, NY. This is the biggest and best music event on Long Island. The festival runs from Friday, July 18, to Sunday, July 20, and features over 50 bands: from national acts like Moe, Taking Back Sunday, and B.B. King; to local acts like The Homegrown String Band, The Kerry Kearney Band, and Miles to Dayton. This festival is not only incredibly hip and cool, it is also family friendly. The Kidzone will be open Saturday and Sunday and will feature interactive arts, crafts, educational programs, musical instrument making, drum circles, puppeteers, story telling, musical entertainment, and games. On Sunday, the festival opens with a concert by Laurie Berkner who has been dubbed "Queen of Kindie Rock" by USA Today. The festival goes on rain or shine and it's really important that Long Island music lovers attend so we can keep this world class event happening here on Long Island. Ticket prices are very reasonable, less than what it would cost to see just the headliner at most venues, and you can save a few bucks by buying your tickets in advance.
