Hudson Square Music & Wine Festival – the after-work backyard blowout
Hosted by: City Winery, Great Performances, Trinity Real Estate
Tuesday June 29 – 5:00 pm
For a sidetrip, Al Kooper loves to abscond from his regular band with the bassist & drummer and play the music he grew up on and learned how to play guitar as a result.
So Al locks up the keyboards for a coupla hours and parades a cavalcade of guitar-driven rockabilly anthems from his youth. Elvis (Presley), Rick Nelson, Link Wray, Buddy Holly, Jimmy Reed, Gene Vincent, Buddy Knox, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Dale Hawkins, Bo Diddley, and on a good night Procul Harum can all be included the repertoire.
These shows are few & far between, so make sure to come on down and see Al as you haven’t seen him before. The Al Kooper Rockabilly Trio ain’t to be missed.
While New York has it’s share of wonderful outdoor music festivals in City Parks, The Hudson Square Music and Wine Festival takes place in the true Urban environment that makes New York City such a special place to live and work. The beautiful weather is here and it’s time to come out of hibernation.
Hosted by City Winery, Great Performances, Trinity Real Estate and the Hudson Square Connection.

Avenue of the Americas
Updated: Monday, May 17th, 2010
LMCC LentSpace presents a new exhibit:
May 19 – November 19, 2010
Avenue of the Americas is a site-specific sculpture exhibition, which literally sits at the gateway of Sixth Avenue, and features artists from North and South America tackling themes related to the social and political issues confronting American societies.
The exhibition features a series of new artist commissions by Julieta Aranda, Carlos Motta and David Sanin Paz, Judi Werthein, and Carla Zaccagnini. The aim of this exhibition is to create a public showcase, which fosters an increased
understanding of and appreciation for the diverse cultural heritage of the Americas through a public art exhibition that speaks to the importance of inter-American relationships. Sixth Avenue was renamed Avenue of the Americas in 1945 by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia (1882-1947) as a place to honor “Pan-American ideals and principles” by the creation of public monuments and plazas. Exploring an interest in communication, the four art works in Avenue of the Americas create work that utilize language, text, and iconic emblems, which create reference points for these narratives, and will stimulate visitors to explore many points of interest and engage in a continued discussion.
Additionally, 2010 marks several important anniversaries in the struggle for Argentine, Chilean, Colombian, and Mexican independence.
