LIVE MUSIC ON PEOPLE'S PORCHES THIS WEEKEND

From Operation Gig!

 

Dan Loomis' Mycelium Trío
Fri Jun 21 6:00-8:00 PM
303 Westminster Rd, Brooklyn

Hailed as “The best trio you never believed could exist,” Dan Loomis' Mycelium delivers songs from the American heartwood inside a groovy, infectious, heart-breakingly nostalgic neighborhood potluck of soul. Come spiritually hungry and leave full.

 

Lila Bloom
Sat Jun 22 4:00-6:00 PM
536 E 18th St, Brooklyn

With a wide range of musical influences from Ella Fitzgerald to Bjork, and Radiohead to Jeff Buckley, Lila explores grief, awe, and surrender through her relationship to nature, her body, and conversations with a higher self. 

Lila Bloom plays the role of the bard sharing a range of songs from tender lullabies to rage filled war cries dedicated to the wary hearts of those who dare to interrupt generational cycles, refuse complacent living, and reclaim their lives.

 

Jefferson Hamer
Sun Jun 23 4:00-6:00 PM
330 Westminster Rd Brooklyn

With voice and guitar as rocking and plaintive as Neil Young, Jefferson Hamer is one of the treasures of the NYC music scene. He's played and recorded with the likes of Anais Mitchell, Sarah Jarosz, Session Americana and many more. We're thrilled to welcome Jefferson and his band back for a third time to OG.

Operation Gig! provides live music performances outdoors on weekends.

 

The series, held on the porches of private houses in Ditmas Park, started in July 2020 to offer a venue where musicians could perform during the pandemic. This gives them a source of income and provides a safe space for people to gather to enjoy live music.

 

Although the performances are free, a suggested $10 donation to the musicians is more than welcome. You can donate either at the performance itself or to the tax-deductible Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund on GoFundMe.

 

Purchase an Operation Gig t-shirt here, and the proceeds will go to the Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund.
