Summer Playlist: SummerStage 2013

Summertime in New York City is jam-packed with exciting events and activities, but for music lovers the Central Park SummerStage series is filled with eclectic and varied concerts throughout the summer season. Over 100 free performances will be held at parks across all five boroughs, thanks to City Parks Foundation, bringing a diverse array of performers to a diverse group of New Yorkers!

GoGreenRide is excited to compile some of the SummerStage music to our Spotify playlist for your listening pleasure.

Now to introduce you to some of our favorites:

- She & Him: She & Him is an indie duo made up of actress/singer Zooey Deschanel and country-folk artist M. Ward. Some of their top songs include "I Could've Been Your Girl", "You Really Got A Hold On Me" and "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" Hear them perform in Central Park on July 6th and July 8th.

- Lila Downs: Come see Lila Downs perform on July 11th in Central Park! Downs is known for bringing her Mexican roots to her music to create a unique Mexican-blues-jazz-soul-African root mixture. Listen to her soaring voice in songs like, "Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps", "Zapata Se Queda" and "Paloma Negra".

- Twin Shadow: Don't miss out on watching Brooklyn's Twin Shadow perform live in Central Park on August 17th! Dominican-born George Lewis Jr. creates an alternative pop style of music that sounds refreshing and modern. "Five Seconds", "Golden Light", and "Run My Heart" are some of his most popular tunes.
