Humphreys Unveils 2013 Lineup

With summer fast approaching, it's once again time for Humphreys By the Bay to unveil its lineup.

The iconic Shelter Island venue -- now celebrating its 32nd year -- announced the list of shows on its web site on Sunday.

The season kicks off with alt-rockers Franz Ferdinand on April 15, followed by pop-rock sensations Tegan & Sara on April 17.

Plenty of other big names have been announced for this summer as well, and the month of June alone includes shows by Michael McDonald, Doobie Brothers, Erykah Badu and soul-saving San Diegan Jewel.

Later summer months keep the name-recognition factor high, with Huey Lewis & the News, Chicago, Chris Isaak, and Willie Nelson all scheduled to make appearances.

Other standout shows include Lyle Lovett & His Large Band on Aug. 14, Steely Dan on Aug. 21, Melissa Etheridge on Sept. 8, Carly Rae Jepson on Sept. 13 and -- for all you knuckleheads who can't resist shouting out "Freebird!" at every concert you attend -- Lynyrd Skynyrd on Sept. 19.
