The Roots Picnic

It’s hard to review the Roots Picnic. There are various artists, some you like, some you don’t like, and you can discover an artist you never heard of before and become a fan. There are also other things about the event that can be improved, but overall I recommend the event. Highlights for me were Ari Lennox, Usher (who I couldn’t see as I was too far from the main stage), and a surprise appearance by Fat Joe. Pictured in my photo is a screen shot of an artist named Syd, who I never heard of, but she was pretty good.

Lineup was great, but the entire show ran 2 hours behind schedule on BOTH days. There was zero shade at the main stage and the sound system was awful.
