For me, the official start of summer is always the opening concert at Celebrate Brooklyn, which is always free and always draws a multitude of happy concertgoers. Last night was no exception, as the multi-talented Andrew Bird opened the 32nd edition with a magical 2 hour show featuring his trademark mix of violins, guitars, whisting and singing. The venue – which holds 10,000 – reached capacity not long after 8, with thousands more camped out on the grass outside. The weather was perfect, too: a bit cool, without a hint of rain. Not a bad way to kick off the summer.
The rest of the Celebrate Brooklyn schedule is here. More pics on Flickr.

Have ya’ll heard of the artist Pete RG?! If not you’re definitely missing out on a great folk/Americana singer! His music reminds me of a mix between Andrew Bird and David Gray. You can get a FREE download of his song “Rainy Girl” here http://peterg.viinyl.com/ Let me know what you think!
