It's summer time, and you know what that means - summer music festivals! Today we're talking about this season's hottest outdoor venues, but we want to know: what's the greatest outdoor music concert you've ever seen? Who played? Leave a song or two in the comments below!
What did we play? We're glad you asked:
1. "46 Days" - Phish, Round Room
2. "So You Want to Be (A Rock 'n' Roll Star)" - Patti Smith, Waves
Some of our favorite things about the summer are the many choices for music festivals, outdoor concert series and great music, no matter where you live. Many of our favorite artists are on tour and we are psyched to support them.
We want YOU to show US how you get your musical fix this summer. How is WFUV Music is a part of your life? Snap a photo.
A few times every year we like to profile one of our loyal WFUV members. With Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival happening this weekend at Croton Point Park, let us introduce you to the man who puts together the amazing lineup of performers: Steve Lurie.
Occupation: Owner of Music Without Borders, which produces concerts for venues and festivals in the Tri-State area.

Ahead of the release of her brand new album One True Vine, Soul & Gospel legend Mavis Staples stops by Studio A to share some of the new songs with us.
I talked with Mavis about working again with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy as producer of the new record, and she also shared some wonderful stories from the past, like what it was like to work with The Band on The Last Waltz.
Check out the videos of the amazing in-studio performances here as well.
