With the start of June, it’s time to start enjoying all the great outdoor concerts that the Bay Area boasts. One of the things I love about where I live is the chance to ride my bike to any of a number of great (and often free) concerts….Stanford’s Summer Jazz series is a good one that pops to mind. And given that it’s almost summer, I’m feeling justified in already being excited for Michael Franti’s Power to the Peaceful in Golden Gate Park. It’s September 12th (which is technically still summer), in case you want to mark your calendars now. It’s also free, begins with yoga, and has in the past included–along with the inimitable MF–great acts like Brett Dennen (and I hope you caught at least one of BD’s shows in the Bay Area this past year…I was lucky enough to be at his Fillmore show in March).
So while I have seen Michael live at a number of different venues (Santa Cruz at the Catalyst, SF at the yoga journal conference, and even LA at the Nokia)…I am looking forward to my first time at PTTP…I hope to run into you there because even as September rolls around you can’t ever get too much great outdoor music!
