Folk legend Pete Seeger is having a birthday party at Madison Square Garden. The fact that the environmentalist crusader and pioneer of protest music is turning a spry 90 is a big reason to celebrate on its own, but when the guest list includes Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder, John Mellencamp, Ben Harper, Billy Bragg and Emmylou Harris, to name just a few of the 50+ artists scheduled to pay their respects on stage, it's time to kick up your heels and grab a ticket. ... read more

By Jeremy Goldmeier on 5:21 PM on September 14, 2007

[Above: Voodoo Music Experience '06 Crowd] Granted, the summer festival scene was a heatstroke of awesome, but give it up for the fall concert circuit. Although a bit more sullen and introverted than its older sibling, the autumn has always boasted an underrated array of cool shows to check out. We’ve already hipped you to Bang! and Pop Montreal, but if you’re up for a little fire on the Bayou, the Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans might be for you. Now a three-day event, Voodoo has proved one of the most durable festivals in America. Hurricane Katrina was enough... read more
