front page of Hippo showing band members on stage

The Red NOT Chili Peppers (pictured on this week’s cover, photo by Michael Witthaus) is one of the bands bringing the sounds of the 1990s to live musical performances. Michael Witthaus checks in with some of the performers and finds out where you can see them this summer.

Also on the cover Bennington celebrates the stalk at its Rhubarb Festival on Saturday, June 1 (page 24). Check out the art you can hike to at Andres Institute of Art (page 14). Keys Piano Bar & Grill offers dueling pianos, boozy smoothies and an atmosphere of fun (page 29).
