Make Music New York!

Yesterday was, officially, the first day of summer. We made the most of the longest day of the year, playing all day as part of Make Music New York, the largest free music festival in New York City. It was a whirlwind! 

First we played at Branded Saloon in Brooklyn, and our enthusiastic indoor crowd (plus the MANY passersby who stopped to listen from outside) really dug our tunes. We ahd a less-than-ideal equipment setup, but hats off to our keyboard player +Christian Nourijanian who made the most of the situation and rocked on an antique piano!

Then we all rushed uptown to Vincent Ciccarone Playground in the Little Italy section of the Bronx. It was worth the trip: what a great crowd of ALL AGES. We ended with an audience that was twice as big as the one we started with, pulling in more and more people as we played into the night! We had old couples singing along, young couple dancing, and kids at the front of the stage! The children were adorable and had a ton of fun... Thanks to our substitute keyboard player +Christopher Plietz who joined us last minute to pull off this big show!

We ended the night at the +Gibson Guitars showroom, where we bonded over jams and redbull. All in all, it was an awesome start to the summer... Can't wait for next year! #MMNY2013
