Jenny Lewis

“[Jenny Lewis‘s] hour long set (as the opening act for their good friends, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band) featured Lewis classics such as “Acid Tongue”, “The Next Messiah” and Rilo Kiley’s “Silver Lining” plus one or two new songs. And of course, they pulled Conor Oberst out to join them on one song, at which point he and Lewis pressed their faces together to share the microphone center stage.” [Cassie]

The River to River Festival’s annual free Independence Day concert in NYC’s Battery Park went down as planned, rain-free, on Saturday (7/4/2009 @ 3:30PM)

“It was nice being able to just lay down and sun-nap for a little while listening to live music.” [Spatula Queen]

“The concert was fabulous. The weather was perfect (clear sky, breezy), and there was a great energy in the park. There were tooons of people there..” [my so-called life]

“conor oberst was great. much better than i thought he would be.” [Anonymous | July 4, 2009 10:36 PM]

“Kicked it on a blanket in a park listening to those two for hours. Pretty much one of the best afternoons I had ever had.” [Typoscura]
