The Summerstage 2017 Concert Series Is Revealed

If you’ve read any of my PiercingMetal.com concert items you already know how much we love the live music scene of our metropolis but hey, we are on “The Chronicles” site so what exactly am I getting at? For a couple of years I’ve been slowly morphing this website into a much broader lifestyle website in terms of the items being discussed and what is happening in NYC in regards to touristy stuff. One of the things I added to the site was the same calendar that I use on PiercingMetal and with it I’ve been listing different things to do in our region and so far the readers of The Chronicles are loving its diversity. All of this leads me to the recent announcement of the SummerStage 2017 events that will be happening in numerous parks across the city. Get your mobile ready to start marking down the things that interest you and the family the most. Behold the Full Calendar 🙂

A Summerstage Soiree with Imelda May & Wanda Jackson (7/27/2011)

Readers of my PiercingMetal.com site know full well that I see a LOT of concerts with journalistic intent in mind but it is rare that I am actually the guest of another provider of similar entertainment.  I sometimes kid with my fellow media peeps how my simply going to a show to just “enjoy it” was difficult and that I always felt compelled to bring some kind of visual image or story to the masses after the fact no matter who it was.  That being said when our own Skeleton Pete was preparing to cover the Wanda Jackson/Imelda May show at Central Park’s Summerstage for his eponymous blog, I was more than happy to be the guest that came with his credentials.   The show was free for this particular outdoor event, but there are ones that are pay to enter.  Here is the marquee for the show.
