If you've been keeping tabs on our summer concerts coverage, you know you're not going to be hurting for warm-weather gig options this year. There's SummerStage, Celebrate Brooklyn! and tons of other free and/or outdoor shows to choose from. And the list of choices just got a good deal bulkier with the announcement of the Lincoln Center Out of Doors lineup. As always, this year's LCOOD is heavy on the good-time fare, with plenty of rib-sticking R&B, festive international sounds and big-name Americana. Read on for the complete schedule of events, which kick off July 22.
