9 pm - midnight – Gotham Holler Night

Shining a spotlight on local country music

9 pm – Drina Seay

Genre: Americana, Country-Noir, 60’s Era Pop-Rock For fans of: Eilen Jewell, Elizabeth Cook, Neko Case, Bobbie Gentry, Nancy Sinatra

Drina Seay’s unique original songs combine many styles of American roots music including blues, jazz, soul, country, folk, and rock. Her band is a who’s who of the New York City independent music scene, with Homeboy Steve (Dirty Water Dogs) on guitar, Monica “Li’l Mo” Passin (Li’l Mo and the Monicats) on bass, and Eric Seftel (Spanking Charlene) on drums. New York Music Daily (http://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com/) chose Drina’s live show for their list of The 30 Best NYC Concerts of 2013. They also chose Drina’s original song “Chase My Blues Away” for their list of 100 Best Songs of 2013, which you can download for free at www.drinaseay.com/music.

“A couple of years ago, Drina Seay was singing harmonies with what seemed like every good country band within earshot. Now she has her own band, which frees her up from having to hang out way, way up in the high notes where only a singer of her caliber can go. Instead, out in front of the band, she uses a richly nuanced, high midrange, drawing deeply on all styles of Americana from country to soul to blues to straight-up rock. Her songwriting is just as sophisticated and eclectic.” - http://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com

10 pm – Trailer Radio

Genre: Country & Blues

For fans of: Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard, Ray Stevens, Hank Williams, Tammy Wynette, The Chalks, Johnny Cash, Southern Culture on the Skids

Trailer Radio jumped onto the New York City scene faster than a redneck on a Nascar Ticket in October 2010. The group, lead by WV native Shannon Brown, delivers an eclectic mix of original and classic country and features musicians who have worked with artists including Elton John, Levon Helm, The Lonesome Praire Dogs, Lou Rawls and others.

In 2011 Trailer Radio released a self-titled debut album with a fresh sound that celebrates the hillbilly way of life in songs delivered with backhanded-backwoods humor, lively arrangements and quirky guitar licks that complement Shannon Brown’s strong vocals and straight-up country sass.

“Shannon Brown has a belting vocal and a crew of deadly shit kicking musicians. I’ve said it here before but this band produces some of the funniest and punchiest country music in Brooklyn.” Read more...
