My friends The Baseball Project have teamed up with Minnesota ex-pat and Brooklyn resident Craig Finn, the lead singer of The Hold Steady, to come up with a song about The Minnesota Twins. Craig does the lead vocals and wrote the lyrics, the music is by Steve Wynn. It will be on the next Baseball Project album, which is due out sometime in 2011. But it’s already being played at Target Field and on Minneapolis/St. Paul radio. But if you’d like to hear it now (and you should because it’s flat out great), go to Now I’ve Heard Everything and get the details.
With two street fairs, a benefit and some inspired booking by The Rockwood Music Hall, it seems like every band in the world is playing on Sunday. Of course there’s The Atlantic Antic with 10 stages; The Dumbo Arts Festival also has many bands playing. If you’d like to stay closer to home, The first The Tinderbox Music Festival is at Southpaw. And if none of that appeals to you, you can make the jaunt into Manhattan and check out Jon Graboff, Poundcake, Sasha Dobson and Kristin Diable all at Rockwood Music Hall. You find the details here at Now I’ve Heard Everything.
