ALSO from the NY TIMES:

Celebrate Brooklyn will open its 30th season on June 12 with a performance by Isaac Hayes. This summer’s lineup for the free concert series at the Prospect Park band shell includes Miriam Makeba; Beth Orton; a screening of the Bruce Lee movie “Enter the Dragon,” with live accompaniment by Karsh Kale; a tribute to the R&B singer Bill Withers; and a benefit by Feist.

The Bill Withers tribute is one of Hal Willner‘s multi-artist shows.

Feist is about to leave on a tour that also has her playing two shows at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC at the end of April.

Many of the Central Park Summerstage shows have also leaked out, not to mention some stuff happening at McCarren Pool.

This will be “Celebrate Brooklyn”‘s 30th year of concerts in Prospect Park. Check out the multi-artist birthday video below…..
