Hi Everyone,
June is flying by! Thanks for all of your great photos and articles on the site.
Top 5:
Tuesday:
Tuesdays in the Park: Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band – 6:30 p.m. - Artpark
As a founding member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Jimmie Vaughan was one of the leading Austin, TX guitarists of the late '70s and '80s, responsible for opening the national market up for gritty roadhouse blues and R&B. Influenced by guitarists like Freddie King, B.B. King, and Albert King, Vaughan developed a tough, lean sound that became one of the most recognizable sounds of '70s and '80s blues and blues-rock.
Thursday:
Martin Sexton - Thursday at the Square – 5:00 p.m.– 9:00 p.m.
Martin Sexton sold 20,000 copies of his self-produced demo, In The Journey, out of his own guitar case. It’s no wonder Sexton won a Boston Music Award for Best New Artist and was named Artist of the Year by the National Academy of Songwriters in 1994. But selling 20,000 albums all on his own isn’t Sexton’s only claim to fame. The Syracuse native has made a name for himself by blending soul, gospel, country, rock, blues and R&B to produces his own brand of American music. We hope he’ll be doing some of his famous beatboxing and scat singing in Lafayette Square too on June 24th at Thursday at the Square. Special guests for the evening will be Ryan Montbleau Band and Civil Twilight.
Friday:

Interpol – Doors open at 7:00 p.m. - Town Ballroom
Interpol is one of the bands associated with the New York indie music scene, having first performed at Luna Lounge and being one of several groups that emerged out of the post-punk revival of the 2000s. The band's sound is generally a mix of bass throb and rhythmic, harmonized guitar, with a snare heavy mix, drawing comparisons to post-punk bands such as Joy Division, The Strokes and The Chameleons.
Tuesdays in the Park: Jimmie Vaughan & The Tilt-A-Whirl Band – 6:30 p.m. - Artpark
As a founding member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Jimmie Vaughan was one of the leading Austin, TX guitarists of the late '70s and '80s, responsible for opening the national market up for gritty roadhouse blues and R&B. Influenced by guitarists like Freddie King, B.B. King, and Albert King, Vaughan developed a tough, lean sound that became one of the most recognizable sounds of '70s and '80s blues and blues-rock.

Martin Sexton - Thursday at the Square – 5:00 p.m.– 9:00 p.m.
Martin Sexton sold 20,000 copies of his self-produced demo, In The Journey, out of his own guitar case. It’s no wonder Sexton won a Boston Music Award for Best New Artist and was named Artist of the Year by the National Academy of Songwriters in 1994. But selling 20,000 albums all on his own isn’t Sexton’s only claim to fame. The Syracuse native has made a name for himself by blending soul, gospel, country, rock, blues and R&B to produces his own brand of American music. We hope he’ll be doing some of his famous beatboxing and scat singing in Lafayette Square too on June 24th at Thursday at the Square. Special guests for the evening will be Ryan Montbleau Band and Civil Twilight.

Enter a new wave of hip-hop youth, who have rejected the classic approach for simplistic, home-produced beats. Such is the approach of Buffalo's own Chae Hawk.

From Door to Door – 2:00 pm- Alleyway Theatre
A daughter. A mother. A grandmother. Three women from the same family. The secrets of one generation are the discoveries of the next. Shifting back and forth in time and spanning 70 years of family history, From Door to Door is a funny, touching tribute to three generations of Jewish women in America. From Door to Door brings new meaning to the song, "L'Dor V'Dor" (From Generation to Generation). Written by James Sherman, author of the nation-wide comedy hit Beau Jest.
