Last week, July 14th I went to Robert Wagner Park, to check out singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist from Memphis, Tennessee Valerie June https://www.youtube.com/watch… Valerie June sound encompasses a mixture of folk, blues, gospel, soul, country, Appalachian and bluegrass and she is simply awesome. I love her music!!!
For those of you who are not familiar with R. Wagner park just know it's one of those gentrified parks nearby the Hudson River, downtown, Manhattan. It's beautiful, a great place to visit, particularly when there is a free concert.
I saw playwright Susan Lori Park http://www.suzanloriparks.com/ in the front of stage on her blanket and picnic basket with her beautiful son, as was everybody else. Chilling to release stress and to be inspired.
Valerie June performance+wine+river+sunset will explain to you why I love summer in NYC.
