Summer is getting closer… Earlier this week the lineup for SummerStage 2013 was released. This morning, Good Morning America followed suit with the announcement of the 2013 GMA Summer Concert Series schedule. 15 free concerts will take place in Central Park on Friday mornings from late-May to the end of August. This year’s concert series [...]

The Verdi Square Festival, a series of free outdoor concerts at the Upper West Side’s Verdi Square, kicks off it’s 7th season tomorrow (Sunday, 9/16). Free performances will take place over the next three Sundays — 9/16, 9/23, and 9/30.

The Good Morning America Summer Concert Series concludes tomorrow morning with a free performance by the Back Street Boys. The former boy band reunited earlier this year and is planning to release their first album since 2005 next spring.

The Good Morning America Summer Concert Series continues tomorrow morning with a free performance by British boy band, The Wanted. Their single Glad You Came (video above) has sold more than 3 million copies and reached #3 on the Billboard 100.

The Good Morning America Summer Concert Series continues tomorrow morning with a free performance by No Doubt. The group is already in NYC and appearing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon tonight. I’m pretty sure they’re staying on the Upper West Side — band member Adrian Young tweeted the photo below earlier today and I think it’s [...]

The forecast looks fantastic for tomorrow evening (Tuesday, 7/24), with clear skies and temperatures in the low-80s. If you’re looking for something to do outside, there’s a free concert at the Naumburg Bandshell in Central Park.

The Good Morning America Summer Concert Series continues tomorrow morning with a free joint performance Karmin and Dragonette. I have to admit, Karmin’s Brokenhearted (video above) is kinda catchy…

A quick reminder for those who either weren’t able to make Friday’s performance or simply can’t get enough: Tonight is the second (and final) free New York Philharmonic concert and fireworks show in Central Park.

The Good Morning America Summer Concert Series continues tomorrow morning with a free performance by country music star Luke Bryan. My introduction to Mr. Bryan was when he sang the national anthem before this week’s MLB All-Star game — TV cameras caught him reading lyrics which he had scribbled on his hand (video below). He also screwed [...]

I feel like I’ve been doing a crappy job at event listings recently. I’ve been planning to bring back the daily “Free & Cheap Events” post for a while now, but keep getting sidetracked due to time constaints. Unfortunately, that’s meant a lot of last-minute posts for neighborhood events, like this one… There’s a free [...]

The Good Morning America Summer Concert Series continues tomorrow morning with a free performance by Demi Lovato. In yet another sign that I’m getting older and am no longer cool, I’ve never heard of her.

The Good Morning America Summer Concert Series continues tomorrow morning with a free performance by LMFAO. I remember when I used “LMFAO” during AOL chat sessions back in the 1990s — I’m still waiting for TTYL and ROFL to release their debut albums.
