Top summer street fest bands

The Hold Steady, Dr. Dog

Where: Taste of Randolph
Why: Commonly referred to as the country’s best bar band, The Hold Steady (appearing 8:15 p.m. June 21), pictured, simply turns every night into a booze-soaked party. You really couldn’t find a better act to play a street fest. Psychedelic rockers Dr. Dog (8:30 p.m. June 19) take the laziness out of nostalgia, delivering fond tributes to times when rock was both pure and shaggy.
