This has been one of the coolest Summers I have every had in New York. I don’t think we have seen the temperature above 90 degrees yet this year! And, it’s rained almost every day it seems. But, that all changed this weekend. We had a couple of those hot muggy days that lets you know it is Summer in New York. The Summer weather could not have come at a better time because it allowed a kick ass concert to take place. This concert featured R&B stars Chico DeBarge, Ginuwine, and Joe performing songs from their new albums and of course their past hits. I have to admit, I did not arrive until Joe, the headliner, was about to start, so I missed the first two performers. Seeing Joe perform was a definite treat. He has a fantastic voice and I love hearing the crowd sing with him. The hits he sang included, “I Wanna Know”, “More & More”, and “Stutter”. He also did some songs from his new album, “Singnature”. Then as a special treat the finale of the concert had Joe, Ginuwine, and Chico DeBarge back on stage doing a tribute to Micheal Jackson. The did “Human Nature”, “Rock Wit U”, and “Billy Jean”. The crowd went wild when Ginuwine busted out his Micheal Jackson dance moves on “Billy Jean”. Yesterday it was Jerry Rivera, then today we had this one. Two days with great weather and great concerts! Looks like Summer has finally arrived in New York.

About Me

I love Summer in New York City. There are a gazillion things to do, from free concerts to street fairs, from outdoor dance parties to live performance art. The city is buzzing with activity. This blog captures the fun and energy that is New York City during the summer months. We attend all the coolest events in and around the city. I attend Summer Stage, Celebrate Brooklyn, PS1 Warm Up, Globesonic in Riverside Park and any other chill happenings. Whether it is Reggae or Reggaeton, Hip Hop or House, Salsa or Samba, Compas or Calypso. Whatever the style, we are there to enjoy it and share it with you. Jimmy Cliff, Raphael Saadiq, KRS-One, Kat Deluna, Ozomatli, The Wailers, Nile Rogers and Chic, Angelique Kidjo; these are some of the amazing acts we\'ve covered and there are many more to come. With a name like NYC Summer Blog you might think that everything goes on hiatus when it gets cold. Not so! It is always summer at NycSummer! Look for past NYC shows and other special events from other parts of the world, even when the temperature drops here in New York. So, browse the Gallery Index and enjoy the sights and sounds that is Summer in New York City! Terry
