SunFest Preview, H4H Beer Tent Info & MarcPaperScissor Gallery

It’s that time of year again – and I don’t mean the migration of the snow birds back to their northern habitat. To the rest of the country it is spring, but for us it is the beginning of Florida’s summer season and with that comes the highly anticipated festival with a fitting nomenclature – SunFest!

Words by Adam E. Smith

Boasting 29 years of celebrating the coming of May, SunFest is a staple event that brings an eclectic mix of music, libations and beautiful weather along the Florida Intracoastal Waterway in downtown West Palm Beach.

Make sure to come say hi and grab a tasty Blue Moon from the Hope For Harrison beer tent! A portion of proceeds and ALL TIPS benefit the foundation. We’ll be the only Blue Moon tent serving up those fresh orange slices. Find us just inside the Clematis Street entrance, just west of the new(er) pavilion. Hope to see ya there! Also, check out Marc PaperScissor‘s Traveling Gallery on Friday, Saturday and Sunday! He has brand new art, new prints and stickers for the occasion!

Five full days of live performances from local and national touring acts kicks off (more…)

If I have learned anything about the South Florida music scene, it is this: never underestimate the draw of a Grateful Dead project. Whether it is a weekly residency by Crazy Fingers, a headlining spot for Dark Star Orchestra at the Garlic Festival or Further taking over Mizner Park, you can bank on two things – a solid turn out and something special happening.

I knew all of this yet I still had it in my head that I could exercise some good karma

Exclusive Q&A with moe.’s Vinnie Amico

We here at Brotherly Love Produductions are huge moe.rons and annually attend moe.down and any other moe. event within our reach. My first moe. show was at the Electric Factory in Philly 6/12/1998 when they shared the stage with both String Cheese Incident and Strangefolk and has a strong footing in my Top-10 all time shows. It is our pleasure to help promote their Florida shows and really appreciate their participation in this exclusive Q&A. They were introduced to many in South Florida at the very first Langerado and although they’ve also played another Langerado or two since, have been neglecting this market for far too long. Coming off a yearlong 20th Anniversary tour that included Bear Creek, the band has never been more on fire. Focusing much more on their improv and song segues; their shows are definitely something you’d dig music fan. We hope you enjoy this glimpse into drummer Vinnie Amico‘s mind and that we see you at any or all of their Florida shows next week (Tues 4/5 @ Culture Room in Ft. Lauderdale, Thurs 4/7 @ The Ritz in Tampa & Fri 4/8 at House of Blues in Orlando)!
