8pm- Alyssa Robbins
Genre: Folk Rock
For fans of: Aimee Mann, Patti Griffin, Pink
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 heart ache. 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- Moneco
Genre: New York Cumbiadelic
For fans of: Chicha Libre, Destellos, Juaneco y su Combo
MONECO is a band with a driving force and a new voice in the New York City music scene. They mix the edgy sound of one of the most musically diverse cities in the world with the traditional psychedelic cumbia sound of South America. When you hear it you will have no doubt as to why MONECO is referred to as “New York Cumbiadelic.”
“Moneco nailed the alternately spiky and spacy licks that make this stuff (Cumbia) so much fun…)
