New OSA Concert Site Almost Ready to Rock

First there was McCarren Park, then there was East River State Park and now there’s 50 Kent. When the Open Space Alliance opens its fundraising concert season a week from today with a line up that includes Counting Crows and We Are Augustines, it’ll be the third location in six years for the parks non-profit; other bands slated to play this summer include My Morning Jacket and Jane’s Addiction. When we passed by yesterday, the stage was set up and they were painting the asphalt. The 80,000-square-foot lot is expected to have a capacity of around 7,000 people. The most comprehensive list of shows we’ve seen is posted at FreeWilliamsburg.com.
