Music Lineup

Saturday, June 14, NOON–4 p.m.

The Defibulators


The Defibulators infectious energy and originality earned them a nod as one of Brooklyn’s best emerging bands in VICE Magazine, and a devoted following in a city not known for its love of country. A unique familiarity percolates throughout their latest LP release, Debt’ll Get’em. Their reverence for traditional country forms combines with an irreverent rock and roll attitude to produce tight, punchy hooks and foot-stomping sing-alongs. With tunes that run the gamut from satirical to sentimental, their unique brand of country has made them pioneers in the Brooklyn country music scene.

The Lone Bellow

Playing what they call “Brooklyn country music,” The Lone Bellow are a group of transplanted Southerners who deliver a passionate, soulful, acoustic-based alternative rock Americana. The trio’s self-titled debut disc is exuberant in its playing and welcoming in its attitude. Though the lyrics have a melancholic undercurrent, the tracks are more often rave-ups than ruminations, with swelling three-part harmonies and rousing group-sung choruses. Indeed, there is a strong familial feel to The Lone Bellow, and listeners will surely feel like part of the family too. The Lone Bellow were named “One of the 10 Artists to Watch in 2013” by Billboard Magazine and “One of the Best New Artists of 2013” by People Magazine.

Sunday, June 15, NOON–4 p.m.

Roosevelt Dime


To listen to the music of Roosevelt Dime is to take a journey through American roots music. Inspired by Appalachian string bands, Memphis soul, New Orleans dixieland, and the musical melting pot of Brooklyn which they call home, the band has forged an original sound all their own. After years of thrilling audiences at festivals and venues across the country, the band has fully captured the energy and musicianship of their live performances on their new album Full Head of Steam. The band's seamless mixture of musical genres has been described as "a perpetual crowd-pleaser" by The New York Times.

Miss Tess and the Talk Backs

Miss Tess & The Talkbacks make grooving modern music with a vintage feel that nods to the traditions of jazz, swing, rockabilly, and more while maintaining a unique and personal sound. The bands most recent release, The Love I Have For You, is their second on rootsy label Signature Sounds and pays homage to some of Tess’s favorite singers and songwriters including Willie Nelson, Bonnie Raitt, Neil Young, Ted Hawkins, Randy Newman, and Hank Williams through a set of rousing covers.
