Music is coming from everywhen!
A temporal anomaly is affecting the Ridge this Saturday, with bands performing tunes from every era but our own.
But Friday night you can relax at the Greenhouse Café (7717 Third Ave. between 77th and 78th streets) with some classic rock, blues, and folk courtesy the Neighborhood Skells. They go on at 9:30 pm.
On Saturday, throw off your internal clock by getting up early and doing your good deed for the week at Shore Park and Parkway (81st Street and Shore Road). You can join the volunteer group Shore Parks Conservancy in weeding, raking, and cleaning up the park from 9 am to noon.
Then steady yourself for a journey between the 18th century and today, and bounce over to the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (7420 Fourth Ave. between 74th Street and Bay Ridge Parkway) at 3 pm, when the Brooklyn Community Chorus will belt out Mozart’s Requiem (from 1791) and Billy Joel tunes (from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and forever).
Or flash back to your high school days with a trip to Red, White, and Brew (8910 Fifth Ave. between 89th and 90th streets) at 4 pm. The band Rock Farm will keep the bar groovin’ until 8 pm with rock and pop from the 1980s and 1990s.
Then you can unwind and rewind with the band Back Trax at Schnitzel Haus (7319 Fifth Ave. between 73rd and 74th Streets) at 9:30 pm. Back Trax’s catalog stretches even further, spanning the 1960s through the 1990s.
Or test the time-space continuum even more by heading to Three Jolly Pigeons (6802 Third Ave. at 68th Street) to catch Full Disclosure at 9:30 pm. The three-piece has the most versatile selection of tunes on Saturday night — from Motown of the 1960s to today’s pop and rock hits.
Past and future finally resolve at the Wicked Monk (9510 Third Ave. between 95th and 96th streets), when the Saturday night’s late show (at 11 pm) becomes Sunday’s very early morning show. The band Betty Rocker will be playing straight through — and giving you flashbacks to New Year’s Eve, when they also played the Wicked Monk. No matter what year it is, you know it will be a great show!
