1 pm to 6 pm, at Albee Square in Fulton Mall. The line-up includes
Burnt Sugar; arkestra; Pistolera; Tate’s band, Shrine for the
Black Madonna; Somi; and Suffrajett. The concert coincides with

retailers.
The Brooklyn New Music Festival will also include five nights
of $5 concerts at the Brooklyn Lyceum in Park Slope, the Five
Spot in Clinton Hill, Frank’s Lounge in Fort Greene, Sputnik
