Metro Music In The Park 2008 - Rocco DeLuca & The Burden
August 14, 2008
San Jose summers wouldn't be the same without Music in the Park, Downtown's most anticipated concert series. Come out to enjoy alternative, R&B, reggae, rock and jazz in free Thursday night performances.
In 2008, get ready for the 20th season, nine consecutive weeks of free shows, each Thursday, July 10-Sept. 4, 5:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m., Plaza de Cesar Chavez (Market Street between San Fernando and San Carlos streets).
Dos Equis beer (Stay Thirsty My Friends) returns as presenting sponsor of Music in the Park for 2008.
Food and beverages are available at the park. Be sure to visit the Lounge in the Park, which is open to the public, and enjoy sangria, beer and wine.
Aug. 14: Rocco DeLuca & The Burden (high energy blues/folk rock)
In Rocco DeLuca's childhood, jam sessions and life on the tour bus was the norm. His father was a touring guitarist for Bo Diddley, so DeLuca learned guitar at a young age. The result is a blues rock sound infused with a punk element. DeLuca's songs are an honest expression of his life experiences.-

I've seen BTE live and boy are they a fun group. The new album is great and they always interact with the audience and play all the favorites! Don't miss them!

Matt Nathanson sounds better live than he does on his album! I wish he would have played longer than the opening band did, they were good but matt nathanson was amazing. I was also surprised at the number of people smoking pot since the majority of people at a matt nathanson concert are teenage girls. Overall it was fun and I would pay to go see matt nathanson again.

Who else is going to play tonight? Is it just wailing souls or are there going to be other related artists to? Any openers for wailing souls?

It seems that the Dazz Band cancelled. The event posting, including the image, has now been updated to that of The Wailing Souls. Thank you.

I was one of the few who stuck it out until the end of the movie. Unfortunately, much of the movie was impossible to see due to the street lights. The good news is that an announcement was made at the end of the evening apolozing for the street light issue and promising that it would not be an issue in the future. Unfortunately, picture quality was not the only problem...much of the movie was difficult to hear. This was due to a combination of the sound level needing to be turned up, the rude people in the back of the crowd who were obviously there to visit with friends and not watch the movie, and the extremely noisy break-down of the wine/beer booth partway through the movie. I have been to Cinema on San Pedro Square in previous seasons and had a good experience. I will probably attend again this season in the hope that these major kinks will be worked out. My fingers are crossed!! Collapse
