musical holidays

Why is everyone's timing so bad? They Might Be Giants played at the TLA on Sukkot, Natalie MacMaster is playing at Penn on Pesach, and I just found out that Eileen Ivers is playing at Concerts Under the Stars on the first night of Shavuot! Dammit! Eileen is my absolutely favorite musical act to see live (yes, more than TMBG and more than Pearl Jam), and the Upper Merion park is probably my favorite place to see concerts.

If anyone can help me find a way to justify within my Jewish practices a way to see that concert, please let me know...Benj? Please?
