Summer Concert Preview!

For the last few weeks we've been getting hit hard with hints and rumors about all the great upcoming summer stuff (respect to Brooklyn Vegan for spearheading the movement.) I know you all hate the rumors, unconfirmed events, and showing up to find out there is a cover charge as much as I do, so we took a minute to confirm everything for you (or most of it.) Here's the start of our summer rundown list and its a hot one. Look for more events as we get them and more confirmations as we can find sources. Got the inside scoop? holler at us!
