Don’t Miss the 1st Taco and Mariachi Festival
When you come to Mexico City there are two things you absolutely must do – sample the street food, especially the tacos, and check out the mariachi bands in Plaza Garibaldi. Fortunately, if you’re going to be in town next week you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy both at the 1st Taco and Mariachi Festival (Primer Festival del Taco y del Mariachi) taking place all week long in Plaza Garibaldi.

Tianguis Cultural del Chopo
One of the more interesting and unusual of Mexico City’s street markets and tianguis, or weekly open-air markets, is the Tianguis Cultural del Chopo. Taking place every Saturday, the Tianguis Cultural del Chopo, or El Chopo, is a large open-air market devoted to the selling of CDs, music memorabilia and clothing. Vendor stalls stretch for several blocks and a small concert stage at the far end of the market hosts live bands.

Sunday Jazz at the Parks
As a reminder, to all of you who may have missed my last post in May about OutJazz, you still have the opportunity to sit at one of Lisbon’s beautiful gardens and listen to live Jazz for free.
Since last May, OutJazz has been bringing music to everyone, gathering people at some of the most interesting parks in Lisbon.
Untill September, jazz will take over a main garden in the city, a different one each month. The music will play at the sound of nature, in the open air.
So, as you may be walking...

August Jazz in Lisbon
Lisbon in August wouldn’t be the same anymore without Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Festival, Jazz in August. On the 27th edition, again, the program will reflect the latest tendencies of the contemporary jazz.
Most of the concerts will be held on the gardens of the Foundation, right in the middle of Lisbon, by Praça de Espanha (map). Among the many names you’ll be able to see and hear, John Surman (sax and clarinet) and Jack DeJohnette (drums and piano) are just two of them.
It will also be...

Weekend Roundup: July 30-August 1
I don’t know about you, but summer is simply flying by for me! It’s hard to believe that this is the last weekend in July, but as usual Houston has plenty to offer! Here are my picks for what to do this weekend, July 30-August 1.

Be An Artist at the Lakeside Market Summer Festival
... face painting, airbrush art and even graffitti.
The Taste of LakeSide food tent is providing tasty samples from the markets’ restaurants, and live music will fill the air. You can even participate in a group called Weapons of Mass Percussion to unleash your inner drummer. Car aficionados will also have a chance to preview the new Mitsubishi 2011 Outlander Sports, of which there are only four on the road right now.
As you can see, this year’s LakeSide Market Summer Festival is packed...

After Hours Event at Fort Worth Science Museum

For wine tasting, head to the museum’s Heritage Courtyard. In keeping with the Da Vinci theme, there will be plenty of Italian wines. The museum will also have a cash bar and snacks.

Get Into The Spearit with Michael Franti & Spearhead
The first – and only – time I have seen Michael Franti & Spearhead perform live was in 2006, at the Grassroots Festival of Music and Dance in Trumansburg, NY. Having been to Grassroots many times I was accustomed to finding new (to me) musical acts to fall in love with, but this was the first time I found one that changed my life in a deeply powerful and meaningful way; their music has gotten me through some of the worst times, and helped me celebrate some of the best. We even...

Cowboy Up!
Lookin’ for a rip-roarin, gut bustin, high falootin good time in Arizona? Round up all the little buckaroos to celebrate The National Day of the Cowboy on Saturday, July 24.
Created by a nonprofit organization based in Texas, this day honors the heroes and heroines of the Old West. With cowboy culture being a big part of our heritage, it’s only fitting that the first governor to grant the organization this proclamation was Governor Janet Napolitano of Arizona in 2006.
According to the “Cowboy...

Hole at the House of Blues
Sure, Courtney Love might be a hot mess whose Twitter rantings and dubious fashion sense make her almost as entertaining off-stage as she is on, but children of the ’90s won’t want to miss her and her reformulated band, Hole, at the Houston House of Blues on Tuesday, July 6. The new album, Nobody’s Daughter, is pretty rockin’ – though certainly not the same gritty, garage-band femme/punk/grunge/pop genius of 1998′s Celebrity Skin.
There is a lot of controversy...

4th of July in Phoenix; Fireworks Maybe, Food & Fun Definitely
... that doesn’t stop us from having a good time. If you still don’t have any plans, here are a few holiday cocktails, dinner celebrations and live music events to get you in the mood.
Be a patriot by ordering a Stars and Stripes Martini at Ra Sushi (map). This cocktail, made of vodka and summer fruits like lemon, raspberries and blueberries, is sure to start off your evening with a bang.
There’s nothing like Crackling Cherry Pie made with Pop-rocks to celebrate the 4th of July. Dine...

Free Performing Arts This Summer
Boston’s calendar is crammed with events year-round, but summer brings a relaxed, informal atmosphere to the city’s art scene. These options are all free productions, and if you are in Boston for only a short time, the only problem is choosing which to see!
In celebration of its 125th anniversary year, the Boston Pops will be performing a series of free, outdoor concerts at Boston Parks. The Boston Pops Brass Quintet will play jazz standards and more at Jamaica Pond’s...

Cantina Crawl: Salón Tenampa
On a recent visit to Plaza Garibaldi, a popular destination for live mariachi music in the capital, I decided to check out Salón Tenampa, a well-known restaurant, bar and nightclub on the northern end of the plaza. The atmosphere inside Salón Tenampa differs from that out in the plaza and it’s definitely worth a visit. Grab a seat at the bar or in one of the tall wooden booths, order a few drinks from waiters in suits, listen to the mariachi bands, or better yet sing along, and take in the...

Summer Festivals
I can still remember when I was young we would have to drive for hours to see some of our bands playing in festivals.
Last decade Lisbon has been living an increase of summer festivals in and around the city. The driving is no longer necessary. After the successful Rock in Rio – Lisbon 2010, here are some of the most awaited upcoming events:
Sumol Summer Fest
The beach and music walk hand in hand in this celebration to Jamaican music. Groundation, Marcelo D2, Gentleman, Matisyahu and Dub...

Free State Bluegrass Music Festival
Dailey and Vincent will perform at this year's bluegrass festival.
There will be a whole lot of picking and grinning in Canton, Texas this week as the Free State Bluegrass Music Festival comes to town June 24-26, 2010. Now in its 34th year, this family-friendly hootenanny takes place in the Canton Civic Center, and yes, it is air-conditioned – or as they say in Texas, “It has air,” since staying cool in summer is as important as breathing.
This year’s line-up includes...

Musicians in Plaza Garibaldi
Plaza Garibaldi is the place to go for live mariachi music in Mexico City. In the late afternoons and early evenings the mariachis can be seen gathering on street corners and in the front of the plaza waiting for someone to hire them to play a party or special event. But it’s not only mariachi bands that occupy Plaza Garibaldi, there are also numerous bands playing regional music from across Mexico. The bands that aren’t recruited to play an event spend the evening entertaining...
