out on the weekend

This Weekend’s Concerts, From Curren$y to Jimmy Buffett

On Sunday night, perpetual party animal Jimmy Buffett played a free concert in Gulf Shores, Alabama, in the name of helping those affected by the BP spill get through their tough times (those affected by the BP spill who are not fans of “Cheeseburger in Paradise” were presumably grateful for the local-economy-boosting business the Buffett show managed to pull in). Good job, Jimmy! Elsewhere across the country, stages were rocked in less altruistic, but no less exciting, manners. Click through our weekly weekend-concert photo roundup for pics of Real Estate, Cass McCombs, Ozomatli, Bear in Heaven, De La Soul, Masta Ace, Fidel Nadal, Smif-N-Wessun, Black Crowes, Smashing Pumpkins, Widespread Panic, the Roots, Fang Island, Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, and Allen Toussaint doing their thing.
