Alabama Shakes and Father John Misty to perform at Hall's Island site May 30

I can't be the only one excited about this. Alabama Shakes and Father John Misty performing in an outdoor concert - on the shores of the Mississippi !?! Ticket go on sale this Friday, March 6.

Local historian David C Smith wrote about Hall's Island in this 2012 blog. The concert will take place under the Plymouth Avenue bridge, as Hall's Island isn't quite an island any more (although restoring it is part of the RiverFirst plan).

Scroll down below this First Avenue poster to check out the animated flyover depicting the vision of what this park area can become.
