Other highlights include Swim Out Past The Sun (2011), featuring David Grisman, Strawberry Mansion (2018), and Put it in a Flower (2023), and a series of releases in 2025 celebrating their 20 years of music making.

Where do we park?
The municipal parking lot at 73rd Street and Collins Avenue is across the street from the Bandshell. Please note it is no longer free - it is $2/hour! When it is full, look for street parking.
What if it rains?
The venue is an open air facility, covered by our new canopy. Shows are scheduled rain or shine.
Can we bring a picnic?
No outside food or drink inside the Bandshell, please. We have a fully-stocked bar, and we usually feature wonderful food vendors inside the venue. We also have a water refill station.
