Warehouse Blues series kicks off for the summer this Friday

It's summertime, and that means it's time for a wide range of outdoor music performances in the Bull City.

Barry's highlighted essentially all of these over at his place this morning, including the terrific Brightleaf Square and American Tobacco/Back Porch Music series. It's also worth noting that this Friday marks the start of the Warehouse Blues series, a free concert program sponsored by Durham Parks & Recreation, West Village, and the Music Maker Relief Foundation.
