First Day of MusicFest Rocked City Hall Park, Continues Friday & Saturday

Local New York TV, The CW11 ran this piece on our J&R MusicFest, featuring Friday’s headliner, Mario.

The first day of MusicFest 2009 kicked off the three day free music festival by Rocking Downtown New York’s City Hall Park. Opener, Diane Birch’s delightful feminine beauty did not prepare the audience for the infectious joyful bounce of her country-tinged boogie.

The second act, the tough, bratty rocker, Jemina Pearl and her 4 piece band brought punky, poppy animation that had the audience jumping and herself ending by falling to the stage.

Fulfilling the headlining slot was the strong, power-pop rock of veterans, The Smithereens, who met the moment and sent reverberations throughout Downtown, thrilling the audience.

True to the age of citizen participation media, the front rows of standing audience was equipped with a wide variety of visual and audio capture devices. From those immediately internet published, here’s a sample of each act.
