This past weekend Clark, NJ was lucky enough to host the Union County Music Festival. Your blogger was only able to attend on Saturday, but there were some great acts on both days. Some of the ones I got to check out included Matt Koziol, Bern and the Brights, Jesse Malin, The Bravery, OK Go, and Train. Matt Koziol played a fun set to a handful of people. The crowd size increased slowly as the day progressed, reaching insane levels by the time OK Go and Train were ready to perform. The day was a lot of fun and provided me with 10+ hours of free live music. I’m looking forward to attending again next year.

Virgin Mobile Freefest
The Virgin Mobile FreeFest is back, and the line-up so far looks pretty sweet. Bands include Mates of State, Taking Back Sunday, The Hold Steady, The Bravery, and Franz Ferdinand, among others. The event is scheduled for August 30th in Columbia, MD. Admission is free (you heard me) but they ask for a $5 donation to a youth homelessness charity. Good music for cheap AND helping a good cause? Sounds pretty good to me.
