Minnesota Summer Music Calendar 2013

Hey Kids! Following is a list of (mostly but not all) free music in Minnesota during the summer of 2013. This is of course highly selective. It's stuff I can recommend. And just for the record here are the top 3, don't-miss free-of-charge events.

1) Blood on the Tracks. A large assemblage of local artists doing Dylan covers. 2 dates, 2 locations to choose from. It was absolutely terrific last year. If they released a CD of the proceedings I would buy.

2) Auto Body Experience at the Lake Harriet Bandshell. Correction: I had said Thursday, July 30, that is WRONG. The CORRECT info is Tuesday July 25. If you have never seen the Experience, you are missing an experience.

3) Irish Fair.

See you thair.
