8pm- Alyssa and Collin
Genre: blues/folk
For fans of: Beck, Tom Waits, R.L. Burnside, Jack White

After playing in numerous bands and serving as a vocalist/percussionist for the long running off-broadway show De La Guarda, Collin struck out on his own creating his own unique musical gumbo. Collin jumps from deep blues, folk standards, his own songs, and even some 80’s one hit wonders. Collin’s wrote the score for the film “Objects Attack!” which is currently winning awards and taking names on the independent festival circuit. He can also be seen warbling and making quite a racket in the show Fuerza Bruta currently playing in Union Square.

With the recent release of her third studio album, “Our Time Was Here We Just Forgot to Be”, Robbins makes a rockier departure from her first two albums (“Wet Behind the Ears” & “The Other Side of the World”). She growls and snarls her way through stories of haunted Brooklyn streets, changing seasons, and a lovers insanity all with a touch of sensitivity and heartache. With the lyrical prose of Aimee Mann and the voice of Etta James, “Our Time was Here...” provides the perfect balance of whiskey swigging rock and gin sipping soul.

10pm- Kings County Ramblers
Genre: bluegrass, rag time, Americana

Bluegrass in Brooklyn! It’s a wonderful thing and the Ramblers are helping to keep the tradition moving forward. We’re a scrappy group of pickers emerging on the Brooklyn scene. Playing a great style of music that brings together bluegrass, rag time, Americana and improvisational jamming. Everything from fast paced cookin’ with gas to slow eerie old timey numbers. The way music is supposed to be. A good time celebration with organic instruments; banjo, mandolin, acoustic guitar and Bob the upright bass. Y’all should come!
