Brick Fest June heralds the arrival of summer, which importantly means the return of summer music festivals. Brick West Brewing Co. is getting in on the action early with the inaugural Brick Fest (not to be confused with Brick Fest Live, the traveling Lego convention in town June 15-16). The new venture is a single-day all-ages festival centered around grabbing a brew while watching some top local talent: Vika & the Velvets, London Get Down, Rosie Cerquone, The Holy Broke, Last of the RedHot Mamas, Micah Clay, Jimmy Nuge, Kyle Richard, and August to August, plus Warren Dunes trekking over from Seattle. Best of all? Brick Fest is free! Fingers crossed that it might become a local start-of-summer tradition.
Lilac City Live! This iteration of Lilac City Live! features NAACP President, Kiantha Duncan, comedian and radio host, Casey Strain, with musical guest Rosie Cerquone.
