From Operation Gig!:
 

Lily Talmers

Friday, June 5, 2026 · 6:00–8:00 PM
498 Rugby Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11226

Lily Talmers is "a band leader for the new age of Americana — her Midwestern-accented and poetically inclined melodies are informed by Greek, Lusophone and classical music, taking you on a unique journey into Lily’s strange intervallic insides, bursting with lyricism coated in intimacy and refined wit." -- Glide Magazine


Operation Gig Bluegrass Sesh with Melody Allegra

Saturday, June 6, 2026 · 4:00–6:00 PM
1305 Albemarle Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The OG Bluegrass session was in some ways the birth of OG! And we're excited to be back with our fearless leader Melody Allegra at the helm. With Myles Sloniker on bass, Sam Chester on Banjo and Landon Trust on Guitar.


Roy Nathanson, Tatiana Overton, Aidan Scrimgeour & Alber Baseel

Sunday, June 7, 2026 · 4:00–6:00 PM
131 Buckingham Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11226

Roy Nathanson, Tatiana Overton, Aidan Scrimgeour & Alber Baseel are the forces-of-nature behind Brooklyn Porch Music, the neighborhood music education program born early in the pandemic. They're also killer musicians who are going to rock the Japanese House porch on Sunday! Don't miss this!

Performance will begin with a performance by Bobby Blue of his new short musical: Rogaciano El Huapanguero
An Independent Storytime Musical — a romantic gay love story filled with music, longing, and murder.

Operation Gig! provides live music performances outdoors on weekends.
 
Concerts are canceled when weather conditions aren't suitable for outdoor activities. Before heading to a concert, check the Operation Gig! website to make sure it's still scheduled to take place.
  
The concert series, held on the porches of private houses in Ditmas Park since July 2020, was created in order to offer a venue for musicians to perform during the COVID-19 pandemic. The series provides them with a source of income as well as providing a safe space for neighbors to gather to enjoy live music.
 
The performances are free, but a suggested donation of $10--which goes directly to the musicians--is more than welcome. Donate either at the performance or online at the tax-deductible Operation Gig Musician Guarantee Fund page on GoFundMe.
