Ziggy Marley is coming! Reggae icon - and 2010 Grammy winner for Best Musical Album for Children
You might not think “jazz” and “kids” but this weekend the Red Hook Jazz Festival can show you that these two go together like peanut butter and jelly…well, that is when it also involves a picnic, sprinklers and my old standby playground Mother Cabrini. The Carroll Park Kids’ Concert Series continues on Sunday with the ever- rockin’ Audra Rox. The venue is fun, and it’s always a nice concert series. A great summer farewell: a picnic at Robert Wagner Park (west of Battery Place) with kids’ music. I really like Brady Rymer and Tom Chapin, 2 of the 4 acts performing, so I would recommend this. The Back to School Bash with the Fuzzy Lemons and Rocknoceros has a lot of people excited about heading out to the Knitting Factory.
Have a wonderful weekend!
