My last venue of the evening takes me to SummerStage in Central Park. Internationally acclaimed for presenting world-renowned and emerging talent from around the globe and New York City’s own backyard, the Central Park SummerStage two-month season has a calendar full of culturally diverse programs in music, dance, word, film, and comedy. Tonight Bettye LaVette performed for over an hour. If you aren’t familiar with her, she performed at Lincoln Memorial for the Obama Inaugural celebration where she sang “A Change Is Gonna Come” as a duet with Jon Bon Jovi. She really had the crowd rockin out! This was my 4th SummerStage concert so far for the season. The weather was perfect and the night was filled with lightning bugs! I haven’t seen lightning bugs in so many years. Definitely brought back lots of fun childhood memories when we used to smear them all over us like war paint and run around all lit up!
