The
Great Long Meadow Fire, founded by trombonist and Ditmas Park resident
Dan Lehner, is a six-piece brass band that combines gothic Americana,
gospel blues, New Orleans jazz, swampy rock n’ roll and a touch of
wistful Western to create a dark and danceable sound.

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.
