On the night of June 28, in a city that sometimes has been undeservedly considered boring, I enjoyed, along with more than 700 others, the first concert of the Eastern Music Festival and afterward a party hosted by the Green Valley Grill to celebrate the event.
For the next month, world-class musicians are performing in Greensboro, and they offer something for everyone. Classical, Latin, bluegrass, world, country, jazz and even California surf music with Go-Go Dancers. Eighty different events and several after-parties are planned as part of the EMF and its "fringe" festival.
The EMF has a rich cultural tradition in Greensboro and has quickly grown to provide us many opportunities to experience live music by incredible performers in small venues for a great price. I encourage every reader to check the schedule and attend an EMF event to see what our great city has to offer.

....or you could just go down to the Blind Tiger, Somewhere Else Tavern, Ace's Basement, or any of the other countless venues. Oh, wait, that would mean being around the regular folk. Better stick to the EMF.
