Tribeca Spotlight The Next Voice You Hear Upcoming Events:
Spuyten Duyvil
(Friday, March 1 at 8PM, $15)
Spuyten Duyvil is an eight-piece Americana band from New York’s Hudson Valley whose original alt roots sound wanders the last 100 years of American music. Soaring vocals, traditional jug band energy, amped-up lap steel guitar and Chicago-style blues harp propelled their 2011 release, New Amsterdam to a "Best American Roots Album" nominee (the Alternate Root TV). “One of the best bands to emerge on the Americana music scene in the last year,” raves WFUV.
Brooklyn Women's Chorus
(Friday, April 12 at 8PM, $15)
A community chorus, The Brooklyn Women’s Chorus was formed in October, 1997 by Park Slope resident and musician, Bev Grant. With a repertoire ranging from South African freedom songs to socially relevant songs by contemporary American songwriters like Garth Brooks, Jackson Browne, Pat Humphries and Bev Grant, topics range from freedom and justice to peace, resistance and women’s labor history. They have recorded a CD entitled Brooklyn Women’s Chorus and the Power of Song.
Laughs for Moms featuring Joe Matarese with Adrienne Iapalucci & Paul Virzi
(Friday, May 10 at 8PM, $15)
What better way to celebrate family, especially mom, than with stand-up comic Joe Matarese’s completely autobiographical act that pokes fun at his subtly dysfunctional Italian family, his own neuroses, life with a four year old, and his marriage to a psychologist (his perfect match). Joe’s talent for turning real life struggles into comedic gems quickly landed him appearances on the most sought after TV shows including Chelsea Lately and The Late Show with David Letterman to name a few.
