Eye on the Scene
Last week's live music highlights from photographer Luke Awtry
La Nuit at the Flynn Main Stage, Burlington, May 12: Young Burlington-area musicians — and their parents — rejoice! Last Friday, the Flynn held La Nuit, a benefit to support kids' education and community programs. The old art deco theater was as primed for partying as it was for fundraising, and attendees came dressed to the nines and ready for both. DJ Disco Phantom captained the party ship from a small stage in the bar area while Guster's Ryan Miller, refusing to comply with the black tie recommendation and opting for floral pants and a purple velour sport coat — we love him — emceed a live auction from an extended Main Stage in the theater. The evening ended with something I'd never seen at the Flynn: a band performing with its back to the theater, facing a stage filled with guests. It made for a pretty epic dance party with Boston's East Coast Soul.
