Camp Street is Brooklyn’s premier close harmony singing group, steeped in the vocal jazz traditions of the 1920s and early 1930s. Their repertoire leans heavily on cuts from the Boswell Sisters, but also various selections from the 1950s and 60s. Regardless of the song’s era, every note is faithfully representative of the swing and boogie-woogie generation.

Camp Street plays music old enough that transcriptions do not exist. For that reason, the band painstakingly transcribes much of their repertoire from period recordings. While tedious, the process produces changes and alterations to the originals - as rich, intricate, and unexpected as the original composers intended.

Their performance, though anachronistic, invokes the joy and romance of ALL eras. Camp Street pays homage to music that was the punk rock of its time - unconventional, youthful, and most significantly, rebellious.

9pm- Sun Thief

Genre: Folk Rock

For fans of: Fleet Foxes, Elliott Smith, Radiohead, Avett Brothers

The dulcet harmonies of Sun Thief have been lauded by many a listener from the far reaches of Crown Heights to the stony rows of Park Slope. Formed in the Spring of 2014, Sun Thief consists of Nathaniel Riehl (vox/guitars), Patrick Cochrane (vox/guitars), and John Matson (vox/drums). All members contribute to the band’s catalogue of original music which can be described as folky, sometimes ethereal, and always introspective. The band plans to release their first EP this fall.

EP Release for The Collateral Vignettes

Theatrical punk act Dalton Deschain unveils his newest concept EP about nuclear warfare, circus freaks, and demonic possession, just in time for Halloween!

“Detroit will not weep for you.”

Come celebrate Halloween the old-fashioned way: with a spooky ghost story told through aggressive acoustic punk music, and drinking beer in the shadow of the TARDIS. Dalton Deschain’s new EP, The Collateral Vignettes, is a fast-paced album full of catchy hooks...along with lyrics about a demon-possessed man who gains control of Detroit in the 1940s. Come in costume(!) to join Dalton for the release of this poppy punk horrorshow.

Genre: Anti-Folk, Rock, Punk
For fans of: Against Me!, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Dresden Dolls

Dalton Deschain is a songwriter from Detroit, Michigan. In his first life he was a survivor of the War that tore apart America, and in 1947 he was exiled from his hometown, and his time. He has arrived here in the present to share his stories of lost love, nuclear warfare, loneliness, rats, plane crashes, and architecture. For more information on all this nonsense, head to:
