If you ask us there is nothing better then seeing music outside in the summer. So we couldn’t be more excited when we saw the announcement of the Governor’s Island Concert Series – which will be booked by the folks from the Highline Ballroom. At press time moe., Dark Star Orchestra and The Saw Doctors were confirmed, with more artists to come. Tickets go on-sale today at noon, with your ferry fare included in the price. But don’t fret, it’s a quick trip to the island.
If you hate boats then check out one of these recently announced tours…

Finally, we thought we’d squeeze in one more baseball story this week with the announcement of dates for the Baseball Music Project. The organization presents “concerts celebrating the National Baseball Hall of Fame through the great lineage of baseball music.
These concerts will feature the greatest music ever written about the greatest sport, combined with images, narration and video about America’s favorite pastime. Members of the Hall of Fame and/or baseball celebrities will serve as narrators and hosts for the concerts.” Sounds a like a great night to us!
