Can you believe we’ve had over 200 shows on our lobby stage?! 🥳 Celebrate with us this week with free performances from ⤵️ Leg Room 💿 (THURSDAY @ 5:30pm)
 Leg Room has a wide range of tastes and neither like being boxed into one category. They have taken on some of NYC’s most renowned dance floors such as Silo, Cafe Balearica, Jupiter Disco, Black Flamingo and more. The thing about Leg Room is, the more you get the better you feel. Musette Explosion 🎶 (FRIDAY @ 5:45pm)
 Musette Explosion explores and expands on the beautiful mid-20th century Parisian music known as musette, a combination of French, Italian, Roma, and African-American influences. This group brings the music to new places through virtuosic improvisation and original compositions, sonic surprises, and adventurous playing, always with a sense of fun and an emotional depth. Their debut album was featured in an interview on NPR’s Fresh Air and spent a week on Billboard’s “Jazz Albums” chart. Forró in the Dark 🎤 (SATURDAY @ 7:00pm)
 One of the most exciting bands to come out of the wild late-night scene in the East Village of New York City, Forró in the Dark combines the driving dance rhythms of forró from Northeastern Brazil with a melting pot of rock, jazz, reggae, psychedelia, folk, and more. Encompassing exploration beyond the conventional, their instrumentation ranges from traditional percussion to more futuristic elements. Forró in the Dark’s music tells stories of love, heartbreak, and other various, sometimes comical examinations of life experiences – a universal celebration of the ups and downs of human existence.

Summer feels better when live music is around. ✨ Join us for free lobby stage performances this week ⤵️ onu blu 💿 (Thursday @ 5:30PM) onu blu is a musician, producer, and DJ based in Brooklyn via Long Beach, California. Their live sets are improvised sonic explorations using samples and live loops of guitar and vocals. Evolving collages of ambient sketches meet breakbeats and polyrhythmic bounces, offering a deconstructed twist on their wide-ranging sources of inspiration, including 90s ambient jungle, lofi tapes, and choral harmonies. Their recently released EP, titled last night’s dream, is available on Bandcamp with all proceeds going to Palestinian mutual aid for families surviving genocide in Gaza. Yeller Tooth 🎤 (Friday @ 5:45PM) Yeller Tooth is the musical collaboration of Sahar Milani and Cameron Scoggins – combining influences as varied as their backgrounds. Sahar, an Iranian/Lebanese-American, brings the rich textures of Middle Eastern melodies colored with Western pop/soul, while Cameron infuses the raw edge of Bluegrass and the casual coolness of the Country crooner. Most importantly, at the heart of Yeller Tooth’s music are stories—songs that breathe life into characters, conjuring narratives that resonate across cultures and histories. Brothers Koren and The Kin 🎶 (Saturday @ 7PM) 2024 People’s Choice Webby Award Winners, Brothers Koren and The Kin, host an evening of songs and stories from their forthcoming live album, Long Way Home. Hailing from Australia, the Brothers Koren embarked on a journey that took them around the globe, sharing stages with the likes of Coldplay, P!NK and Rod Stewart.
