Looking for a good outdoor music venue with national artists?

Submitted by Shawn Hogendorf on May 4, 2007 - 12:39pm.

I love going to see live outdoor music.

One of my favorite venues to see national acts outside is the Minnesota Zoo Amphitheatre.

The shows can get a little pricey, but the intimacy and the sound in the venue make it well worth the price of admission, if you like the band.

The Minnesota Zoo recently released its concert schedule. Tickets are on sale for shows starting May 21 at 10 a.m.

To see this year's concert schedule go to http://www.suemclean.com/pages/zoo/index.html.

If you take my advice and head out to the zoo for a show this summer, you may see me at:

Yonder Mountain String Band on June 16; The Dark Star Orchestra on June 29; Michael Franti and Spearhead on July 3; Bruce Hornsby on July 10; Bela Fleck and the Flecktones on Aug. 9; and Los Lobos on Aug. 25.

I’ll see you at the zoo.
