“This weekend was truly a triumph for the state of New York’s Gay Community and made my musically enlightened weekend that much sweeter! Friday night’s passage of the legalization of same-sex marriage seemed to spark a fire of love and celebration in the city. It couldn’t have made for a better day to head to Central Park for one of their summer series concerts.

I knew that the concert had a lot in store for me as the soulful Fitz & the Tantrums, easily one of my favorite new bands, would be performing! Also on the program was soul and funk legend, Lee Fields, who proved that even after a few decades, he’s certainly got the moves!

Haling from Los Angeles, California, Fitz & the Tantrum’s indie soul sound had the crowd dancing from start to finish… [and] I was happy to find that they sounded even better live, as most of the greatest bands do.

Playing hits from the album such as “Pickin’ Up the Pieces” and “Rich Girls” , the group enchanted the audience… finishing their set with one of their biggest hits ” MoneyGrabber”, they left me wanting more and I feared it would be the last time I’d ever get to see them for free!

Feeding my hungry retro-soul, Lee Fields put on a magnificent performance that salutes the saying “you’re as young as you feel.””

Fitz & the Tantrums and Lee Fields & The Expressions played a free show in Central Park at Summerstage on Saturday (6/25). The show, as described above, was one of Fitz & the Tantrums’ many shows this summer, which also include Lollapalooza, Music to Know Fest, and ACL.
