Summer: play a guitar in a park

Summer Music Resolutions

Soundcheck | May 31, 2012

The weather’s getting warmer, birds are singing - time to seize the day and break out that old French horn you haven’t played since high school. On our last show before our Summer Workshop begins, John Schaefer asks you to commit to a summer music resolution, whether it’s picking up a new instrument, seeing a great concert, or getting through that music documentary you’ve been meaning to watch. Plus: The London-based band Micachu and the Shapes performs live.
