Jarvis and I went to the Make Music New York (MMNY) Festival Party tonight hosted by Brooklyn Brewery(in our Opus Nine regalia). Part fundraiser, part networking event and part party-we were asked to help MMNY … by drinking lots of beer. Along with about 100 MMNY supporters we enjoyed the warm atmosphere, great music, and an open bar with eight great beers on tap.MMNY is a live, free musical celebration across the city that takes place each June 21—the longest day of the year. On that day, public space throughout the five boroughs—sidewalks, parks, community gardens, and more—become impromptu musical stages, dance floors, and social meeting points. Thousands of musicians, in every genre, perform for new audiences, who come out from under their headphones to hear unfamiliar groups risk-free. Everyone is invited to sing along and enjoy the first day of summer. Opus Nine is so excited to participate in this day long festival this summer!
I have a new band obsession- Bury Me A Lion. They played a 1-hour set full of passionate lyrics, rocking original tunes, AND they gave Jarvis and me a shout-out from the stage -they absolutely rock! I even got this groupie/stalker photo with the band!The evening ended with a drinking song sing-a-long-a little pitchy after a 3-hour Open Bar!
We had a great time and supported a great cause. Thank you to MMNY and Time Out Magazine for providing this great opportunity for musicians in NYC!
