Music is Alive and Well

For music lovers summer is a one of the best times to see great bands in venues that are as beautiful as the music. Each festival offers a cross section of music from national headliners to local bands, and everything in between. Some are 2-3days long and others may just be a day.


Each festival showcases a wide variety of music including folk rock, hard rock, metal, soul and jazz. 

This past weekend I attended two and each was great in it own way. The first was the Pleasantville Music Festival in Pleasantville (Westchester) NY.
