View the official SummerStage 2019 season announce video here. ​ ​ Capital One is the festival’s new multi-year title sponsor (Capital One City Parks ​ ​ Foundation SummerStage) and its official bank and credit card. A presenting sponsor since ​ ​ 2015, Capital One has helped SummerStage bring more than 500 artists to 800,000 ​ ​ audience members in parks all around New York City. “Capital One is proud to elevate our long-standing support for SummerStage as the title sponsor,” said Michael Slocum, President, Commercial Banking and Northeast Regional ​ President, Capital One. “Free live music and dance performances bring neighborhoods to ​ life. We are committed to helping communities thrive by supporting SummerStage performances and keeping them free and open for all New Yorkers to enjoy.” SummerStage has a long history of presenting artists on the verge of breaking big. The launch of the 2019 season will build on that legacy with the reopening of SummerStage in Central Park on Saturday, June 1 as a night of discovery. Audiences will be introduced to both a refurbished venue and to the music industry’s next big stars. The night will feature New York City native, the soulful R&B singer songwriter Emily King, along with developing ​ ​ artists and deep soul revival band Durand Jones & the Indications, and more throughout ​ ​ the evening. “This is a very big year for SummerStage. Not only are we reopening our storied Central Park venue, modernizing it for its next 30 years, but we are also partnering with our new title sponsor and looking to the future by launching the season with young musicians representing the next generation,” said Heather Lubov, Executive Director of City Parks ​ Foundation. “Of course, throughout the summer, we will present a line-up that is reflective ​ of our city’s population, focusing not only on gender equality, but also on the huge diversity of cultures and backgrounds that make New York so special and exciting.” As a women-run festival with a mission of diversity and inclusion, SummerStage is helping to transform the future of the music industry by participating in the PRS Foundation’s international Keychange pledge and presenting a lineup this season that features a 50:50 gender balance. SummerStage is one of the few local festivals that has achieved this goal. Notable performances by women this summer will include two break-out female-fronted Canadian pop bands Alvvays and The Courtneys; Spanish soul-pop singer and Latin ​ ​ ​ ​ Grammy winner Buika, who will be joined by A-WA, a Yemenite-Israeli sister trio; an ​ ​ ​ ​ all-female lineup of Taiwanese talents including One Fang; Wendy Whelan, former principal ​ ​ ​ ​ ballerina and current Associate Artistic DIrector with the New York City Ballet, presenting her new work-in-progress, Carnival of the Animals; La India, New York native and one of ​ ​ salsa’s biggest voices; rapper and activist Ana Tijoux; legendary drummer and icon Sheila ​ ​ ​ E.; multi-Grammy winner and jazz songstress Corinne Bailey Rae; and Grammy winning ​ ​ ​ ​ folkloric-style Mexican singer Lila Downs. ​ ​ SummerStage will continue its tradition of identifying the best new artists and bringing together strong voices from around the world to perform in New York City, some for the very first time. Highlights will include Calypso King of the World, Mighty Sparrow; Puerto ​ ​ Rican salsero Ray De La Paz, who will be joined by boricua salsero, Edgar Joel; legendary ​ ​ ​ ​ Brazilian artist Alceu Valença; Afrobeat quartet Magic System, who will be joined by ​ ​ ​ ​ Burkinabe rapper Smarty and Ivory Coast’s DJ Birane; and a night showcasing women of ​ ​ ​ ​ the Latin diaspora headlined by Mexican pop singer songwriter Ximena Sariñana. ​ ​ SummerStage will recognize a number of pivotal anniversaries citywide through specially-curated shows including the 100th birthday of the Harlem Renaissance to be ​ ​ celebrated during the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival; the 100th birthday of iconic ​ ​ choreographer Merce Cunningham featuring the Stephen Petronio Company and former ​ ​ ​ ​ Cunningham dancer Melissa Toogood; the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots and ​ ​ WorldPride celebrations with two shows -- New Orleans bounce queen Big Freedia and ​ ​ all-male ballet troupe Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo; the commemoration of the ​ ​ Harlem Cultural Festival known as Black Woodstock with bandleader Igmar Thomas, MC ​ ​ ​ ​ Talib Kweli and trumpeter Keyon Harrold in Marcus Garvey Park where the original festival ​ ​ ​ was staged; and the 40th anniversary of Queens-based, women-run reggae label VP ​ ​ Records with Elephant Man, Junior Reid, Estelle, and Raging Fyah. ​ ​ ​ ​ As always, New York’s own musicians and performers will be well represented at SummerStage. Opening night in Brooklyn’s Herbert Von King Park will feature Queens rapper Pharoahe Monch and Friends celebrating the 20th anniversary of their album, “Internal ​ Affairs.” Brooklyn mega-hit rapper Young M.A will perform in her home borough in Betsy ​ ​ Head Park; Staten Island hip-hop heroes Force M.D.s play a hometown show in Corporal ​ ​ Thompson Park; one of hip-hop’s great storyteller’s, Bronx-born Slick Rick, joins forces with ​ ​ DJ Chuck Chillout, in Soundview Park; rising psych jazz rockers Crumb will be joined by ​ ​ ​ fellow Brooklynites Phony Ppl in Manhattan’s East River Park; and La Sonora Ponceña, one ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ of New York’s longest running salsa bands, will perform in Coney Island’s Ford Amphitheatre. The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival, New York City’s annual salute to the eponymous late ​ ​ ​ ​ saxophonist, will return for five days of live jazz in the neighborhoods near where Parker worked and lived, including uptown in Harlem’s historic Marcus Garvey Park and downtown in Tompkins Square Park. Running August 20 through 25, the festival will feature partner events around the city, culminating with SummerStage performances from Mwenso & the ​ Shakes featuring Brianna Thomas, Vuyo Sotashe and special guest Fred Wesley; Dee Dee ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Bridgewater; Carl Allen's Art Blakey Tribute; Ravi Coltrane; George Coleman Trio and ​ ​ ​ many others. “This season’s lineup is thoughtfully curated to celebrate community across all five boroughs ​ by bringing distinctly New York artists to neighborhoods where they have personal history. The Festival also acts as a platform for global talent to perform for New Yorkers, and a place to see some of the most diverse and exciting talent around,” said Erika Elliott, Executive ​ ​ Artistic Director of City Parks Foundation. The 2019 SummerStage festival will also feature benefit shows in Central Park to help support City Parks Foundation’s free performances. Confirmed shows to date include George ​ Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic’s Farewell Tour with Galactic, Fishbone, ​ ​ Dumpstaphunk; Thai-funk instrumental trio Khruangbin; lo-fi experimental rocker Kurt Vile ​ ​ ​ ​ and the Violators with Dinosaur Jr.; Australian singer-songwriter Tash Sultana; ​ ​ ​ ​ chart-topping alt-rock band Guster; Australian psych-rockers King Gizzard and the Lizard ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Wizard; Welsh indie-pop artist MARINA; British indie rock band Bloc Party; and legendary ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ new wave icons The B-52s.

In ​ collaboration with West Elm, the Brooklyn-based global design company known for its ​ ​ original, modern designs, select areas of the venue will be expertly outfitted with furniture ​ ​ and décor from the brand’s new summer assortment. Concert-goers and performers will enjoy the highest standard of sustainably sourced products all summer long. The complete SummerStage schedule follows below.

  • Lila Downs LA CANTINA “Entre Copa Y Copa...”
    Lila Downs LA CANTINA “entre copa y copa...” Exploring and expressing Mexico's rich culture has been a lifelong passion for Lila Downs. La Cantina: “Entre Copa y Copa...” marks a unique turn in her career path, as she focuses intently on the rich and familiar repertoire of Mexico's beloved cancion ranchera tradition. The cancion ranchera is typically a ballad about heartache, solitude, love and longing — a song such as one would typically hear in a local cantina. It is a musical tradition quite akin to Portugal’s fado, or to the Delta blues — deeply soulful, often lamenting, always emotionally vivid. Downs and her partner, multi-instrumentalist Paul Cohen reflect, “Our new album brings out smiles and complicity from every person in the audience. After all, who doesn't like to go out to a bar, have some drinks and cry to your favorite songs?.... Well, maybe not everyone cries, but we can all remember — as we say in Spanish: ‘I'm not crying. It’s that cigarette smoke making my eyes burn....’" Special guest Flaco Jimenez, the legendary Tejano accordionist, brings his rootsy norteño sound to the mix. In the hands of Lila and her band, this historic repertoire is handled with a hip, contemporary edge that surely draws from her residency in the great melting pot of New York City in recent years — a world away from her dual upbringing in Minnesota and the Sierra Madre mountains of Oaxaca. Living in such varied environments, Downs took after her mother’s stage career by singing mariachi tunes at age 8.

Kesey is a young, talented novelist who has just seen his first book, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nestpublished, and who is consequently on the receiving end of a great deal of fame and fortune. While living in Palo Alto and attending Stanford's creative writing program, Kesey signs up to participate in a drug study sponsored by the CIA. The drug they give him is a new experimental drug called LSD. Under the influence of LSD, Kesey begins to attract a band of followers. They are drawn to the transcendent states they can achieve while on the drug, but they are also drawn to Kesey, who is a charismatic leader. They call themselves the "Merry Pranksters" and begin to participate in wild experiments at Kesey's house in the woods of La Honda, California. These experiments, with lights and noise, are all engineered to create a wild psychedelic experience while on LSD. They paint everything in neon Day-Glo colors, and though the residents and authorities of La Honda are worried, there is little they can do, since LSD is not an illegal substance. The Pranksters first venture into the wider world by taking a trip east, to New York, for the publication of Kesey's newest novel.

Spotify | YouTube instagram.com/bacalaomen facebook.com/bacalaomen Booking: [email protected] ABOUT Bacalao Men was born in Caracas in 1999, when Pablo Estacio asked two musician friends to form a songo band. The group first featured Sebastián Araujo on drums, Aurelio Martínez on sax, and Pablo Estacio on bass and vocal. Within the first jam sessions, the musical structures and atmosphere that would give Bacalao its essence began to emerge, with its intelligent lyrics, afrolatin beats with jolts of funk, hip hop and electronic. The formation soon was enriched with the integration of DJ Hernia; Vladimir Rivero, Caracas’ legendary salsa percussionist, and Rafael Gómez, former guitarist of Lapamariposa and currently performing with Lila Downs. With its new members, and an undeniably original repertoire, Bacalao embarked on its first era of concerts in different Caracas venues and all throughout Venezuela, quickly generating a buzz about its indisputably new yet familiar sound. El Nuevo Bugalú (2005) was its second album, also produced independently. El Nuevo Bugalú concentrated on small chronicles told by song, and with it, the group expanded its sounds characterized by the use of native semantics of the city of Caracas, religion, love, and stress. From this second album came the group’s hits Malibu and El Comegente, a cheeky chronicle that relates the life of Dorángel Vargas, a cannibal who devoured over a dozen people in the 90’s.Through El Nuevo Bugalú, Bacalao was awarded Best Album of the Year, Best Song (El Comegente) and Best Production (Bacalao Men) by Venezuela’s Foundation of New Bands (Fundación Nuevas Bandas).

  • Canal Convergence Events
    Item 23 CITY COUNCIl REPORT Meeting Date: June 27, 2017 General Plan Element: Economic Vitality General Plan Goal: Sustain Scottsdale as a tourist destination ACTION Adopt Resolution No. 10821 authorizing a FY 2017/18 Tourism Development Fund operating contingency transfer in the amount of $650,000 to the Tourism and Events Department operating budget for use in supporting the 2018 Canal Convergence events. BACKGROUND It started as an idea, a conversation, a meeting and grew into a partnership between the City of Scottsdale, Scottsdale Public Art and Salt River Project. Many others have since joined, all of whom share in the belief that Public Space conceived upon the nature of what supports us, what keeps us here, what inspires our creativity and enables our growth is the reflection of all that is important for sustaining life in this desert city. Canal Convergence is this idea. Since 2012 it has been a place of engagement, a place where international and local artists come together to celebrate a one of a kind community environment and immersive art experience for all, and a new point of pride for Scottsdale residents and businesses. As Canal Convergence began taking shape, the Tourism Strategic Plan adopted by City Council in 2013 outlined the importance of creating a destination event during the tourism industry's shoulder season (May through December). Through the Council appointed Tourism Advisory Task Force (TATF) and Request for Proposal (RFP) process, the city contracted with Webb Management Services to complete a three-phased destination event study. The goal of the study (Webb Report) was to identify events that would: 1.
