The Long Center for Performing Arts is known for all the great performances they bring to their concert halls but Sunday night they proved they can throw one hell of an outdoor concert. Grupo Fantasma kicked off their Long Center Terrace Concert Series with a 90 minute latin funk set that packed the dance floor.
Nearly 3,000 people showed up to the free show including some who joined after hearing the music and seeing the crowd from across the street at Auditorium Shores.
Next up is the Marshall Ford Swing Band with guest Redd Volkaert on October 23, 2011.
