There’s more live music than you can shake a stick at in Bay Ridge this weekend. Dive deep into the American traditions of rock, soul, and jazz — plus bonus Irish music, cause why not? It is all waiting for you in Brooklyn’s nightlife Mecca.
On Friday, soak in the soulful sounds of Lynne Watson and Positive N-ergy At Greenhouse Cafe (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets). If you ask us, there aren’t enough funk-and-soul act appearing in Bay Ridge, so go support some fresh tunes!
On Saturday, swing back by Greenhouse to catch Celtic troubadour Frankie Marra and his band at 10 pm. Then, dash over to The Wicked Monk (9510 Third Ave. between 95th and 96th streets), where Jersey rockers Johnny Drama take the stage at 11 pm.
If rock isn’t your bag, you can also drop by Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd (7420 Fourth Ave. at the corner of Bay Ridge Parkway) for Jazz night, where cabaret singer Angela Leone and church music director Bill Zeffiro will perform selections from maestros of the American songbook such as George Gershwin and Cole Porter. Tickets are $30, and each comes with a glass of wine and food. You can pick up tickets at the church office.
And it is acoustic songcraft at its finest on Sunday — traditional Irish band Brooklyn Bards will bring their guitar, hand drum, and tin whistle to Hunter’s Steak and Ale House (9404 Fourth Ave. between 94th and 95th streets) at 5 pm.
