Sweeping views, great lawn, dance lessons, beer gardens, bike valet... and it's free! A spring evening features some of the coolest dance bands on the planet, the funkiest DJs under the stars, and the greatest view in the world.
The Grammy-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Booker T. Jones will feature material from his tremendously acclaimed recent album, The Road from Memphis. The album, produced by Jones with The Roots’s Questlove and Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliot Smith), prompted NPR to say, "After all these years, [Jones] remains so soulful, and so good.” USA Today said The Road from Memphis “transports listeners to the ‘60s heyday of Stax, where [Jones] and the MGs defined soul music.”
Rich Medina, one of New York’s favorite DJs, will warm up the evening with a sonic journey through hip-hop, house, Afrobeat, funk and soul.
