Shows that happen in the open air, under the sun or beneath the stars. In the summertime us New Yorkers can't get enough of em.
The LIC Music Scene takes great pride in the way our neighborhood can use its often thrilling visual and scenic splendor as a backdrop for some really cool concerts.
Legendary is the only word to describe the PS1 WARM UP, an all day live music event that is one of the most popular in all of NYC. Their website at the date of this writing does not have the 2010 schedule up yet, but we are watching with great anticipation.
The spectacular LIVE AT THE GANTRIES outdoor concert series continues to gain more and more momentum each year. They have just announced the 2010 lineup (but not the full schedule yet). The Long Island City Jazz Alliance, a "super-group" of great LIC Jazz musicians kicks off the series with a special concert June 13th @ 7pm!
For live outdoor music in a more intimate setting LIC BAR'S popular SUMMER SERIES promises to dazzle the neighborhood with concerts and festivals beginning June 6th. There are Sunday afternoon shows, and also outdoor shows Monday & Wednesday evenings. The full schedule can be seen at the bar's website.
Also we'll be on the lookout for live music at WATER TAXI BEACH, STUDIO SQUARE & THE BOHEMIAN BEER HALL. Also worth mentioning is the huge ASTORIA MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL in Astoria Park. Over 50 local bands will be performing July 24th.
