Throwback Post: Summer Festivals

Part of life means enjoying the beautiful summers God blesses us with each season. Complimenting the smells of barbecue and freshly cut grass is the melodic pleasantries of artists touring the country exhibiting their craft.

Some of the big ones are: Coachella held in L.A. near the end of April, Bonnaroo held in Tennessee mid-June, Summer Fest held in Milwaukee last week in June through the 4th weekend, Essence Music Festival held in New Orleans at the beginning of July, and Lollapalooza first weekend in August in Chicago. Having attended a few of these festivals I wanted to encourage music heads to go.
