Stan Ridgway and Michelle Shocked Play Free Concert August 13th

The hills - and downtown - are alive with the sound of free live music.  Stan Ridgway and Michelle Shocked light up Pershing Square's stage on Saturday, August 13, 2011 from 8PM - 11PM.  Lift your spirits with some music voodoo.

Singer/songwriter/guitarist, Stan Ridgway, originally fronted the punk band, Wall of Voodoo.  You're probably familiar with his accidental MTV hit song, I'm on a Mexican Radio.  Ridgway's new solo album is Neon Mirage, but he'll also be performing some of his classic songs and Wall of Voodoo faves in this Desert of Dreams.
