Tamar Korn has performed professionally for Cangelosi Cards for the last seven years. The group pays melodic homage to jazz and country tunes from the ’20s and ’30s. This Thursday, November 11 at Southpaw, Korn will open the benefit for FortnightJournal.com featuring Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye, Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers, Outernational and sponsored by BrooklynTheBorough.com.
Brooklynites have sat back patiently as restauranteur Danny Meyer and his Union Square Hospitality Group opened Shake Shack after Shake Shake all over this fair city – even at City Field! – and wondered why our fair borough has only seen their mobile truck on random occasions parked downtown. Find out where the new location will open.
Guitarist Lenny Kaye talks about ‘the old internet’ and why he’s not on Facebook at the launch party for FortnightJournal.com plus the rocker’s extra special millennial-era rendition of Gloria, the so-called National Anthem of Rock n’ Roll.
Every second Monday the Franklin Park Reading Series features another rising star and new talent, and October was no exception. The following clips – it’s a long story, there are two – feature Jennifer Egan reading from her latest novel A Visit from the Goon Squad.
We caught up with local rockers Outernational a few times this year, most notably for an acoustic performance at Bar 4 in August. That acoustic performance and our interview with singer Miles Solay turned into the premiere episode of our new video series profiling local musicians (click to watch). What we did not know at the time was that the guys would be previewing their acoustic set before heading to nearby Southpaw to share a stage with Shilpa Ray and Patti Smith & Lenny Kaye on November 11 for our evening to benefit FortnightJournal.com.
BrooklynTheBorough.com is excited to feature the work of graphic novelist and native Brooklynite Martin Lemelman. Extended through November, he will bring us the final two chapters from his return to Brooklyn series, original work based on his latest novel Two Cents Plain, released in August on Bloomsbury.
