Blues on the Green, the free outdoor concerts sponsored by KGSR, will move to Waterloo Park for this summer due to leveling and resodding work at Zilker. This year's schedule is:
June 3 - Ruthie Foster
June 17 - Cyril Neville
July 1 - Jimmie Vaughan
July 15 - Marcia Ball
July 29 - Carolyn Wonderland
Be sure to check the calendar at the bottom of the blog for other local shows. I try to update it around the first of each month.
I've also now added a widget to the blog's main page which will allow access to the radio station from the blog (although you still have to sign up with live365.com to use it, I believe).
