Blowin in the Wind from the upper deck of the Canyon, DestiNY USA
Great acts are hard to follow, especially a well-loved band like Blowin’ in the Wind. The band played a Concert in the Canyon (DestiNY USA) last week to the delight of hundreds of their fans, shoppers and visitors to the area who poured into the mall. The acoustics weren’t the best, but everyone seemed to have a blast. Highlights of the show included a salute to military personnel and Charity for Children, Inc., a magical Michael Jackson montage (led by Eric Blackwell) and a public performance of the new DestiNY USA theme song.
Blowin’ was also joined for this gig by ultra-talented Dequan Bowens (aka Killer Keys),who we’ve seen jam with many local bands over the past few years.
It’s great to see a hard-working band get some more exposure and build their fan base. We’re not sure who the next schedule group to play the canyon will be, but Blowin’ has set a high standard.
Packed house.

It was fun to learn more about the band Blowin in the Wind this summer. They recently visited the studio and got me up to speed with their current projects. Here’s a photo I snapped of lead vocalist Eric Blackwell.
Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival (Day 1): Friday Night Dance Party

A couple dances during the final set for the band Brownskin on Friday.
Day One for the Northeast Jazz & Wine Festival was all about dancing. From the early shows to the finale, and almost everywhere in between (including an impromptu session by some young dancers), bodies just seemed to be in motion.
Some folk from the Syracuse Dance Project, along with some freelancers, occupied the landing of the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Clinton Sqaure (between the World Beat and Mardi Gras tents).

Atlas celebrated it’s 33rd year by turning Clinton Square into on big Jungle Boogie to close out Friday night.
