The area around the High Line Park was a vital business district of New York City, supplying fresh fruits, French Cheeses and Russian caviar as well as fresh meats to City markets.

Concert | Indie Rock: Calvin Love / Las Rosas


Since the press widely dubbed him an "artist to watch" in 2012 with his debut New Radar LP, thanks largely to his casual knack for pop hooks and wild child experimentalism, Calvin Love returns with some new tricks in his bag. Expanding his operation with a full band, there's a new freedom that's becoming on him with charismatic certitude to his delivery. Las Rosas began in the back room of a non-legal living establishment in Long Island City, where drummer Christopher declared his idea to start playing the songs that Jose had written in Texas following the liquefaction of his previous band Harlem.

Concert | Sounds of Brazil: Bebel Gilberto / Vinicius Cantuaria


Brazilian musical royalty comes in the form of BEBEL GILBERTO, “a bewitching figure” (LA Times) who elegantly celebrates the bossa nova style her father, the legendary guitarist Joao Gilberto, helped popularize. Brazilian music runs deep in her veins; her mother is the singer Miúcha, her uncle is singer/composer Chico Buarque, and she has been performing since her youth in Rio de Janeiro. VINICIUS CANTUARIÁ, “the doyen of Brazilian singer-songwriters,” (The Guardian UK) is a bossa nova icon in his own right whose storied career includes explorations into rock and a long love affair with New York’s downtown jazz world. The evening begins with a set of contemporary African folk from the exquisite Zimbabwean singer NETSAYI.
