I really liked Cravin Melon in college. I'll check them out.

REalize that this is not a mega stadium concert. It is a free open air concert in the park, where you can have a beer, bring a picnic, etc. Personally, I could envision packing up the kids and a picnic for a sunny afternoon downtown listening to the Wailers. My kids love reggae!

There's plenty of free, live outdoor music in Durham--not bigtime names like "Brian Howe of Bad Company" (was he even in Bad Company?), but local bands, mostly bluegrass/blues. I like the local vibe better.
Check out the West Village Courtyard on fridays during the summer (6-8), Brightleaf Square Fridays (7-9), Parker and Otis Fridays (6-8), American Tobacco, various dates throughout the summer. |

Are you sure about the picnic thing? I thought the whole point of it being free was so they could make money off the food and beverage, thus no bringing in your own. |

In my opinion even the bad music is a good time, especially if it is a beautiful night. I had a lot of fun at the couple that I went to last summer... I'm looking forward to EVE 6 this year.

I only went to one last year, and only stopped by for a beer and a stroll on the way somewhere else for dinner, but I remember people with their own small coolers, drinks and food there.
