I appears we have the summer free but that doesn't mean we can't still get together to hear some great music.

If you have a concert - or a festival - you're interested in just add it to the thread. I or one of the other mods will add the info to this top post in chronological order just to make it easy to find.

Have to go get some work done but here are some dates to start with just 'cause I can grab them easily

Ok there are so many really cool shows out this summer I just had to jump in:
Looks like there are a ton of good ones in NH and not really anything in the major places in Maine. I tried to include lots of different styles but did leave a few out. Also just have to work more later, Kylee is playing her music really loud and it's killing my brain. Help! I'm going through concer withdrawles.

Anyone want to go to WSP please let me know! I want to go but not on my own. Oh and if anyone decided to break down and by Tom Waits tickets this year please don't tell me because I might kill myself....
