World Financial Center
26 July 2008, 2000
As part of the River to River Festival, a slathering of artists came together to sing the music of Johnny Cash. Due to the impending threat of thunderstorms, the concert was moved under the dome of the World Financial Center in Battery Park. The dome unfortunatley came with a few sound problems, which had most of the audience holding their ears during the opening performance by Brooklyn based band the Hymns. The collection of artists that came together to celebrate the Man in Black was eclectic to say the least. From instrumental versions of what I think was Give My Love to Rose to an accapella Ring of Fire by the much loved Persuasions, the musical stylings were vast. The highlight of my evening, thanks to a tip from GB, was a quick performance by the awe inspiring Marshall Crenshaw.
