Free is good

Let’s face it – we all love free.  After all, my favorite food is free food!  (And free food has no calories!) 

 Free music is good, too.  While there are great shows at places like Madison Square Garden and B B King’s Club, they cost a lot of money.  There are a wide range of free concerts available throughout the city, especially during the summer, that offer a terrific return on investment.

When you are paying $35 for a ticket, you have high expectations for that show.  You may only be willing to spend that money on an artist that you already know and love, and may be less willing to take a chance on an unknown artist or a different kind of music.

Free concerts remove the expectations and pressure.  You can take a chance on an unfamiliar artist or different music, because you have nothing to lose.  In doing so, you open yourself up to new experiences and lead you to artists and music that you would have never otherwise enjoyed.

Let’s face it, the Rolling Stones are not playing Celebrate Brooklyn.  But I have seen many great artists there and at other free venues over the years.  The artists may not be big headliners to the uninformed, but you can often find some of the best artists in genres such as blues, gospel, zydeco and folk.  I know I have seen many Grammy-winning artists at free concerts.

So, enjoy some of the best free music that New York has to offer!
