Time: 3:00pm
Location: Central Park Summerstage (click for map)

Summary: Shelter is quickly taking the place of the legendary Body and Soul parties at Summerstage with full force. For this 15th anniversary celebration, NYC's finest soulful house producer brings live house trio Tortured Soul to the stage. Their dance classic "I Might Do Something Wrong" has been tearing up dancefloors for years and can easily be considered one of the finest house tracks ever. This afternoon they are joined by Peven Everett and resident DJs Timmy Regisford and Sting International... Highly Recommended!

Canada Day at Summerstage

Date: Sunday, June 25th
Time: 3:00pm
Location: Central Park Summerstage (click for map)
Cost: Free ($15 suggested... no one turned away)
Summary:
SummerStage will continue its tradition of celebrating our neighbors to the north with a special showcase of Canadian music talent. from Feist, Buck 65, and Jason Collett. Toronto-based singer Feist has fronted punk groups, played guitar in stadium bands, supported ribald beat-box diva Peaches and burnished her indie-rock credentials as a member of Toronto’s Broken Social Scene. She also contributed to Secret House Against The World, last summer’s masterwork from Halifax-born rapper/singer Buck 65. Combining hip-hop and turntablism with country, blues and folk, Buck 65 has earned himself comparisons to Beck and put his home town on the hip-hop map. Rounding out the bill is Jason Collett, another Broken Social Scene-ster.
