Natalie MacMaster New Haven Green 6/18/11

Saturday evening at the A/I festival brought Natalie MacMaster. A fiddler from the Cape Breton section of Nova Scotia, Natalie played Irish-type tunes. Reels and medleys made up the program. A good crowd showed for a perfect weather evening

Jose Conde w/ Cosmic Jibaros 6/12/11 New Haven Green

Bridgeport natives Cosmic Jibaros started off this Sunday set as part of the A/I festival. Like a local Ozomatli, I've always loved these guys. Frontman Rick Reyes has a good voice with tunes in english and spanish. New York latin sensation Jose Conde was up next. He had a breezy feel that was not cheesy.
