OPERATION GIG! INDOOR CONCERTS: KATIE MARTUCCI AND THE DEFAY BROTHERS


From Operation Gig!:
Dear OG Community!
 
These long cold months of hibernation have us missing you and the music too much.  So we’re taking the porch magic to a cozy local venue.
 
We’ve partnered with Bad Therapy — a fantastic restaurant, bar, and performance space on Cortelyou Road that's become the center of the neighborhood live music scene — to host two Saturday-night indoor shows in Jan/Feb.
 
Fittingly, we'll feature two hyper-local and hyper-awesome acts you'll recognize from past OG seasons.
 

Katie Martucci
Sat Jan 17th 8-10pm
Bad Therapy, 1008 Cortelyou

Indie-folk/pop singer and guitarist Katie Martucci is a vital part of the Brooklyn music scene, collaborating with a who's-who of the incredible talent in this city. W/ Dan Pappalardo (bass) Jacob Drab (guitar) and Jason Burger (drums).

 
The Defay Brothers
Sat Feb 7th 8-10pm
Bad Therapy, 1008 Cortelyou

Neighborhood treasures Gil and Ansy Defay have wowed Operation Gig audiences many times since it all began. Come see them and their band play their mix of jazz, soul and r&b.

The Mission

From the beginning, Operation Gig has centered around three core missions:

 

  • Promote incredible, diverse performance directly into our neighborhood
  • Create income-producing gigs for local working musicians
  • Build community across generations 

 

Now that we’re exploring indoor venues, we are proud to introduce a fourth mission:

 

  • Support the local businesses that strengthen and sustain our neighborhood

 

Please come early, eat dinner, drink drinks, support this vital cultural outpost.  Could be the start of a special relationship!


Please note: The Musician Guarantee Fund will NOT be used to subsidize these indoor concerts.
