Just announced! The 73^rd annual Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco. Free concerts every Sunday at 2:00 pm from June 20 through August 22, 2010. There are, as always, some incredible artists.

Angelique Kidjo, the dynamic songstress from Benin, kicks things off on June 20. (For more African concerts, check the San Francisco Bay Area African Music Calendar. And if you have any shows to add to the calendar, please email me!)

Another band I’m excited about is Caravan Palace. Seductive blend of swing, gypsy jazz, and electronica.

Here’s my advice if you go: get there early, bring a blanket, a thermos of coffee, and the Sunday paper.
