Rememba the days where you scurried to the office, even on summer Fridays not even considering free summer concerts? “Oh, they’re just for tourists,” you convinced yourself as you grabbed a morning cup of Joe on the way to cubicle boredom.

Well, those days are gone and it’s time to smell the roses and listen to the free tunes! A-listers are performing so we might as well enjoy ‘em.

Today Show Summer Concert Series. Dave Matthews Band will rock the Plaza this Friday! You in? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3041478/

GMA Summer Concert Series. John Legend will do his ‘thang in Central Park this Friday. Here’s the rest of the line-up. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/SummerConcert/story?id=7502433&page=1

Broadway in Bryant Park. Ok, they’re not exactly performing on Friday mornings but for those of us who like to sleep in, today’s top shows from the Great White Way will perform in Bryant Park every Thursday during lunchtime starting on July 9th. And to think, we can actually sit and enjoy a full concert instead of rushing back to a conference call or meeting. Schedule TBA.

There you have it. Combine free time and free tunes and whaddya get? A fun little staycation right in the heart of the city.
