Last year the Superfly folks one upped themselves with the addition of an additional tent at Bonnaroo called Somethin’ Else which brought a “downtown New York City jazz club” to Manchester – and by all accounts they nailed it. This year Somethin’ Else has been reinvented as a venue dedicated to celebrating the music on […]
