La Fête de Marquette Concert Review
Review by Terry O'
Friday, July 13th - Sunday, July 15th
Madison, Wisconsin
The three day Le Fête de Marquette opened for its second year on Friday, July 13th.

Vieux Farka Toure at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago
Review by: Terry O'

Vieux's music is high energy and danceable.
His father played Malian ...
