FreeNYC Event Flyer

After you brunch today we advise you head over to Soundfix and check out Regina Spektor's free performance. Her whimsical voice paired with her piano playing make her a lovely treat for a sunny spring afternoon. Doors are 12:45 but given the popularity of past events (remember the line for Kimya Dawson?) we suggest you arrive early.

Rhythm Road

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Saturday, April 19th
Time: 1:00pm & 3:00pm
Location: Lincoln Center - Frederick P. Rose Hall: Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola (33 W. 60th St.)
Cost: Free

So I am totally back on the jazz kick tonight. Fell into a couple great live shows this week and I am hooked again. Jazz is one of the greatest reasons to live in NYC. Unfortunately, its also quite a pricey ticket sometimes. Thankfully, the good folks of the Rhythm Road series are back in town again. The Rhythm Road: American Music Abroad program presents selected professional jazz and urban music performers on concert tours to countries where there is limited exposure to live American culture. Prior to their departure to Egypt, Kosovo and many other destinations, these bands will perform in Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. This afternoon catch sets by Devin Phillips & New Orleans Straight Ahead at 1 and The Dana Leong Band (featuring FreeNYC faves Jason Lindner on keys and Baba Israel on vocals) at 3. First come first served and there is probably a $5 or $10 drink minimum.

Born of the Abyss

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Saturday, April 19th
Time: 6:30pm- 10:00pm
Location: GRNY (437 E. 9th St.)
Cost: Free

"Giant Robot is proud to present new work by Buff Monster at the GRNY Gallery. The artist is best known for his wheat-pasted street art featuring lumps of ice cream, clouds, and squirting breasts. The disarmingly sweet imagery has spilled over into the worlds of fashion, collectibles, and galleries--as well as collaborations for the likes of The Standard, Hurley, Vans, Helio, and Nike. Born of the Abyss represents a break from Buff Monster's public (and usually illegal) work, and reflects new themes, mediums, and directions. The show will include framed and unframed paintings on paper and wood panels. Inspired and influenced by typography, Christian demonology, heavy metal music, and Japanese monster toys, recurring elements will include geometric patterns and katakana, as well as a new character that he calls Demon Seed. These pieces will be complemented with a limited edition of hand-painted kaiju figures." Show runs through May 14th.
