It’s madness to try and cover everything and write it up. Hopefully on Friday we’ll be able to give you some thoughts, reviews, and images. Without a doubt, there are just so amazing venues and bands that this is the one festival that continues to deliver the best in live music. CMJ continues to offer attendees the opportunity to see extremely talented musicians in intimate settings. So here are some recommendations for Thursday to keep in mind as you plan your schedule.
