![It’s easy to sum up last night’s intimate Matisyahu show at West Palm’s Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in one word: underwhelming. Billed as an acoustic show with the Hasidic (ex? — we’re still not sure) Jewish hip-hop and reggae artist with an attached question-and-answer session, the concert was ideally a platform for fans to reach out and create a discussion with Matisyahu on topics of music, spirituality, and how the two intertwine.

In late November we dove into the lives of Robbe White and Anna Phillips, two South Florida nudists who started a group dedicated to recruiting and exposing young people to the naturist lifestyle. Camera in hand we revisited the couple, along with their new baby, over this past weekend to get another perspective of the life of a young naturist — a weekend retreat complete with body painting, meditation, and clothes-free liberation.
An eclectic evening of music at Propaganda on Saturday night began with Young Circles, followed up by Civilian, Under Every Green Tree and national touring act Pete Stein and the Black Tiger FIre Band. The last of which even had a jar of honey at their merch table. This simply sweet night of music gave attendees the chance to snag Under Every Green Tree’s newest CD, and catch up with former musical inhabitants of Lake Worth who were in town for one night only.

In it’s 16th celebratory year of raucous rock, the BUZZ Bake Sale hosted it’s event at the Cruzan Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach.

Local bands were given the chance to play alongside national acts with three separate stages of music happening throughout last Saturday’s radio rock show.

A rainy Sunday night at the Broward County Fair cleared up just enough for us to document some of the event’s colorful sights. From a live wolf show, racing guinea pigs, to chocolate covered bacon, this year’s fair had plenty of dizzying options to entertain the attending thrill-seekers.
