Throwback Thursday: Once Upon a Music Scene

Joe Driscoll and Travie McCoy performed in Armory Square a decade ago
Hard to believe by Joe Driscoll and Travie McCoy (and Gym Class Heroes) were opening acts for a show back in the day at an Armory Square club. I can’t remember who the headliner was,but Driscoll has gone on to become an international sensation; and McCoy now performs on television award shows.
Driscoll is in town this weekend for his only US show this summer.

Free Zumba Class, Wednesdays during the lunch hour (Clinton Square)
How’s this for a lunch date.
Metro Fitness, under the direction of Randy Sabourin, has partnered with the City to offer free Zumba classes every Wednesday this summer (from 12:15 to 12:45) in Clinton Square. Sabourin has been a personal fitness instructor downtown for about 20 years. He hopes the Zumba class and partnership will help get Central New York residents, especially those living and working downtown, in better shape.
The Metro Fitness club is located in Salina Place a few blocks from Clinton Square.
Zumba Instructor Lynn Underwood sets the pace.
Despite serious humidity and hazy sun, men, women and children decided to sweat and dance their way thru lunch.
According to Sabourin, the class yesterday was one of the smaller classes so far (more than a dozen participants). The classes began last month and will run thru Labor Day.

Fringe Factor
Monday, June 24th, 2013
Fringe Technical Director Gabriel Pinto occupies Saturday night with a sax solo.
Finally a cross-town collaboration between Lemoyne and SU (well,sort of). Le Moyne alums Jacob Ellison and Justin Sullivan used creativity and crowd funding to pull together the inaugural Syracuse Fringe Festival last weekend, and it was held at the Community Folk Art Center along the Connective Corridor. The event featured three days of multi-disciplinary artistic endeavors. We checked out the final day of the program, which featured David Doyle, Ruth Arena and Anna Phillips. Fringe was very reminiscent of the THINC Sideshow parties from a decade or so ago (except the demographic for the Fringe was slightly older).
Live Art: Body Painting
What was most surprising on Saturday was to watch Phillips, who is the artistic equivalent of a love child between Missy Elliot (always ahead of the curve) and Steven Wright (wry humor), do a comedy show in the Black Box Theater and smoothly transition into a monologue about her life that was more compelling than a episode of HBO’s In Treatment.
Was it Something She Said? Anna Phillips kept it real for Spatial Profiling.
Not that it wasn’t good, just unexpected. We look forward to Anna’s upcoming gigs, where she will bring the noise again with jokes at two shows locally: Chicks are Funny and Guns n’ Syrup.
