Michael Doing Michael
Lebron. Kobe. Sting. Prince. Marvin. Oprah.
Some people are just cool enough to be mentioned by first name alone. Here Michael (Heagerty) does his best Michael (Jackson) dance moves during a set by Joe Driscoll (accompanied by DJ Afar) at the Taste of Syracuse.
Syracuse’s favorite Hip Hop/Folk singing/guitar playing/Human Beat Box,aka Joe Driscoll, closed out the Express Mart Stage for the Taste of Syracuse last night. His show caught the attention of stalwart driscollites, innocent by-standers, TV and radio personalities, as well as local musicians. The well-traveled Driscoll, who was bred in the Westcott Nation, recently played gigs in California.
While on stage Driscoll sported a Wes Johnson (Lakers) jersey. This guy always represents.
While in town Driscoll will also play shows at the Westcott Theater and Funk-n-Waffles (downtown).

Jack and Maxwell Brown: Express Mart Erie Blvd Stage, Taste of Syracuse (Friday)
We thought it was generous and down right classy for Sophistafunk to yield some of their Taste of Syracuse: Express Mart Erie Blvd Stage performance to the 315 Elks Pride Drumline last night.
The brief musical collaboration caused a pleasant ruckus.

Jack Brown, keeping it real (cool)
Hollywood has Jack Black; Syracuse has Jack Brown (of Sophistafunk). Black is known for his fluffy comedic persona; meanwhile Brown is known as a vigorous MC who dons stylish pork pie hats on stage. Last weekend, Brown mixed up his fashion ensemble by rocking a pair of classic NIKE dunks (in Syracuse Orange, of course).
Jack Brown defines of freedom of expression
Chris Taylor on the Delta Stage at The Taste of Syracuse on Saturday night.
Sammy-award winner Chris Taylor, the man with the coolest microphone this side of Paisley Park, brought some country to the city for the Taste of Syracuse on Saturday night (backed by The Custom Taylor Band). What is always amazing is to see a cool brother wearing jeans and a t-shirt, cowboy hat and boots (custom belt buckle too), serve up a country groove that has the crowds eating out of his hands. Taylor is definitely a local music and fashion icon.
