Live Music Vibe This Summer: Pranzo Portsid e Just off Bleecker Street, among the zigzagging streets of Greenwich Village in NYC, there’s a hip little eatery known for its mouthwatering paninis. The local musicians gather and jam there because they get a “nice vibe” from the ambience. In Chicago, just off Michigan Ave and overlooking the river, is a smokin’ hot sexy café that features Creative American cuisine. At night it turns into a who’s who of musician “wanna be’s” and talent oozes out the windows. In historic downtown Brunswick, there’s a combination of both. The food is eclectic and fresh, an ambience that will transport you to any metro city. Pranzo Portside is a haven for this area’s musical talent, both established and up and coming. “I can’t say enough about the talent I’ve seen here,” boasts Tyler Roberson, owner. “I’m humbled to have a venue that musicians crave to be surrounded by.” Throughout the summer, every Thursday and Friday night at Pranzo, the musicians will be here … and the creativity will flow onto the streets of Downtown.
