Harmonizing the Songs of Bob Dylan (and his contemporaries) - A six-week singing class with Emily Eagen
Harmonizing the Songs of Bob Dylan with Emily Eagen Six Sessions on Mondays 7 pm - 8:30 pm: April 21, and 28, May 12, and 19, June 2 and 9 In this six-week class, we'll dive deep into the songs of Bob Dylan and sing them in two- and three-part harmony. We'll sing well-known songs and lesser-known gems, learning pre-arranged parts for some, and finding our own for others. Along the way, we'll also sing songs by Bob Dylan's contemporaries in the 1960s, taking a bigger view of the folk and singer-songwriter scene that Dylan was part of. This class is designed for singers who are comfortable singing in harmony, and can hold their own line against others. We'll work on all the things that make harmony singing fun: finding parts by ear, gaining more independence with a line, and getting beyond the notes to sing with expression, phrasing, and style in order to really make a song click. Dylan's rich lyrics and melodies will take us as far as we can go into great harmony singing!

Marley Hale / Rebecca Porter
Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm $20 adv / $25 DOS With a beguiling voice that would feel right at home on classic country radio, Marley Hale delivers a captivating country/folk sound rooted in the refined yet adventurous musicality she’s cultivated almost her entire life. As revealed on her debut EP, By My Own Ways, to be released July 26, 2024, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter matches her timeless sensibilities and graceful musicianship with a one-of-a-kind narrative voice, endlessly merging raw truth with mesmerizing storytelling. Born in Austin but raised in Northern California, Hale first learned to play guitar from her father at age 10 and soon began writing songs of her own. Although she grew up listening to classic-rock bands like Led Zeppelin and pop visionaries like Kate Bush and David Bowie, she later became fascinated with folk luminaries such as Karen Dalton and Bob Dylan and eventually discovered the artists she now lists among her essential touchstones, including Loretta Lynn and Gillian Welch. Born in Guam and raised in the Shenandoah Valley, Rebecca Porter blends soulful melodies and fearless lyrics with her honey-smooth voice to create her own brand of Appalachian honky tonk. Her 2023 EP, Queen of the Local, earned national acclaim and led to recognition in Rissi Palmer's Color Me Country Class of 2024, features on Ed Helms' Good Country, and a debut on NPR's Mountain Stage. Known for electrifying live performances, Porter captivates audiences with her emotional intensity and grit. With her highly anticipated debut album, Roll With the Punches, set for release in August 2025 (announcing April 25), Porter's personal and raw storytelling continues to push boundaries, projecting a cinematic soundscape that balances traditional country’s rugged spirit with an unapologetic journey of perseverance.

Shape Note Singing Workshop Series
Shape Note Workshop Series Two sessions: Sunday April 27, 3:30 - 5 pm and Sunday May 18, 4:30 - 6 pm Join workshop leader Nancy Mandel and special guests for a series of workshops on the American tradition of Sacred Harp singing, also known as Shape Note singing. Shape Note's special notation makes reading the tunes easy (or easier, anyway) in pursuit of the tradition’s goal: energetic, heartfelt, and bone-tingling community music-making in which everyone, with or without musical training, can participate. And it works! You will be singing throughout the workshop. This miniseries will teach how to read the shapes and will also introduce students to shape note’s history and culture. Melodies will be taught both via the notation and by ear. The sessions can stand alone -- we’ll cover the basics both times -- but the second will go deeper. Come to one or come to both! Nancy Mandel has been singing Sacred Harp for 16 years. She leads the monthly Brooklyn three-book singing, has done (nearly) all the big-singing jobs from registration table to Chair, and found the Prospect Park loggia for Covid-era outdoor singing. We’ll also have visitors from the New York Sacred Harp community.

Appalachian culture has many beautiful intricacies, with musical heritage at the forefront, and we aim to keep that in tact. We’re asking all of our collaborators to lean on their network of musicians, instrument makers, and philanthropic followers in a way that feels authentic to them. Our Focus : Finding musicians in need Building an instrument donor database Acquiring tax exempt donations through our 501(c)3 nonprofit fiscal sponsor Music in Common to cover any costs. More About ReString Appalachia : ReString Appalachia supports Music Wellness by addressing the deep personal, cultural, and economic losses that Appalachian musicians face after Hurricane Helene. For many residents of Appalachia and the surrounding areas, music is more than a pastime—it is a livelihood and a vital connection to their heritage. Instruments lost in the hurricane were not only tools of self-expression but also critical sources of income and community identity. Through ReString Appalachia, we aim to restore this source of wellness and resilience by placing high-quality instruments back into the hands of those affected, helping them reclaim their means of livelihood and reconnect with their communities. Supported by over 125 artists and cultural organizations, we are building an instrument donor network and gathering resources to bring music back to these musicians, reinforcing both their wellness and economic stability. Our goal is to hand-deliver instruments in late 2024 and early 2025, offering not only the ability to play music again but also restoring a vital means of making a living. ReString Appalachia is committed to harnessing music’s unique power to heal, uplift, and economically sustain Appalachian communities.

Over the next 15 years, they’ve played thousands of shows, recorded seven records, receiving top picks from Boston.com, Time Out NY Kids, and Time Out Chicago. Winner of the prestigious Parents’ Choice® and NAPPA Awards, Rolie Polie Guacamole has developed a smart, parent-friendly musical style that dresses up original tunes and classic covers with vibrant harmonies and deft instrumental layers, plugging in a sizzling electric current of rhythm that lights up lyrics humming with relevance and humor. Wrote Trevor Gage of Boston’s WERS-FM, “When you think of kids’ music, what do you see? Freddy Spaghetti? A jaded hipster in a colorful costume alluding to some bizarre form of Brazilian anime? Rolie Polie Guacamole skips stones over those clichés and splashes onto the scene with a technically savvy and imaginative sound that speaks to children and reminds their parents of the golden age of 1990s music”. Their 7th album Avocado came out just in time for the pandemic shutdown and was a hit among fans stuck in their homes with young ones. As the pandemic subsided the band released 65 new songs between October 2022 - November 2023.

Alkemie presents: Sir Orfeo
Doors 7pm, Show 7:30pm $25 adv / $30 dos The Medieval folk band Alkemie returns to Jalopy for a tale perfect for a spring evening. Almost seven hundred years ago, a London scribe recorded a Celtic-inspired version of the ancient Orpheus myth, wherein the hero visits the realm of the Fairies rather than the spirits of the underworld. Come be transported by Ben Matus’s arrangement of this Middle English legend, which uses ancient fiddles, harps, recorders and (modern!) voices to touch on themes of “otherness” and reconciliation. Feel free to come dressed in the spirit of your favorite mythical creature! About the Band As travelers to the intersections of the medieval court, cloister, and folk world, ALKEMIE is unabashed about dismantling the barriers that have traditionally separated these domains and our present experience. Comprised of singer-performers playing two dozen instruments–including vielles (early fiddles), harps, psaltery, scheitholt (early zither), recorders, douçaines & dulcians (early double reeds), bagpipes, and percussion—they are known for their “characterful playing” ( The New Yorker ) and “fresh arrangements that incorporate touches of bluegrass and Celtic music” ( The Whole Note ). Alkemie recently created the soundtrack to the Peabody and BAFTA award-winning video game Pentiment , which Gamereactor said “truly elevated the experience to a height normally reserved for angels and aircrafts.” This performance is part of Alkemie’s Floralia festival, which concludes on Sunday, May 4 with a free, family-friendly May Day celebration in Prospect Park which will include a guided May Day dance, a demonstration of medieval instruments, optional participation in short scenes from a medieval play, a May Day trivia scavenger hunt, and face painting.

The Lovestruck Balladeers / Matt Munisteri
Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm $20 adv / $25 DOS The Lovestruck Balladeers enchant audiences with their masterful performances and inspired repertoire of ragtime, jazz and beautiful songs from around the world. Born out of New York’s vibrant classic jazz and traditional music scene, The Lovestruck Balladeers formed during a series of recording sessions for Jalopy Records' 2018 release, Estrellas de Radio . Since their debut at The Brooklyn Folk Festival that same year, the versatile quintet has made a name for itself as a compelling act highlighting musical excellence, fresh arrangements, original songs and a tightly crafted stage show. The Lovestruck Balladeers are Jake Sanders, Dennis Lichtman, Sean Cronin and Dalton Ridenhour. Featuring special guest Mike Davis. It’s a daunting task, this business of encapsulating Matt Munisteri ’s musical self. As the sparkling guitarist on several chart-topping jazz CDs; a critically lauded songwriter and nimble lyricist; an urban banjo-warrior and a sometime session musician; a selfless and devoted sideman; a wry-yet-honest singer; an engaging and winning front-man; and an arranger whose ear-pulling re-inventions of well-traveled songs have contributed to Grammy winning CDs for artists such as Loudon Wainwright and Catherine Russell, Matt’s various dueling career paths might at first seem difficult to reconcile. Additionally you’d be hard-pressed to find another Brooklyn native who grew up playing bluegrass banjo since he was in the single digits; who has recorded with artists as divergent as consummate jazz balladeer “Little” Jimmy Scott and 1980’s avante-noise godfather Glenn Branca; who is regarded as a contemporary master of 1920’s and ’30’s jazz styles, and is an ardent student of American folk traditions, but counts among his regular creative cohorts several musicians associated with the New York Downtown music world. Yet ultimately Matt’s journey through 20th century American music yields a vision which feels intrinsically whole, with his own music always serving as one-of-a-kind reflection of a life immersed in all the far-flung variants of American Popular Song. Maybe it’s easier to say that whatever he’s currently up to, it will be a living reconciliation of rural and urban, long-gone and contemporary, individual experience and canonized scripture.

NY Oud Festival Day 8 | Gabe Lavin, Ameer Armaly, Brian Prunka
The New York Oud Festival is a multi-day, multi-venue music festival that displays the oud and its versatility as it exists in New York's diverse musical culture. The NYOF celebrates the oud and its wide-ranging influence on global music culture, showcasing artists from a multitude of traditions and contexts, and demonstrating why the oud continues to be one of the world's most beloved instruments. www.newyorkoudfestival.com NY Oud Festival Day 8 | Gabe Lavin, Ameer Armaly, Brian Prunka 7:30pm (7pm doors) Friday May 30th 2025 Jalopy Theatre - 315 Columbia St, Brooklyn, NY 11231 $30 advance ($35 door) Day 8 of the festival will feature sets by oudists Gabe Lavin , Ameer Armaly , and Brian Prunka . Seating is limited and first-come first-serve. Born in South Carolina, Ameer Armaly was exposed to the oud and Arabic music in general from an early age through his uncle who played the oud. He went on to study under Simon and Najib Shaheen. Ameer performs as an instrumentalist with a variety of artists and leads an Arabic music ensemble which performs regularly around the New York area, cultivating local talent and reviving the great Arabic instrumental and vocal music of the twentieth century. His performance will feature Ayman Asfour on violin and Zafer Tawil on percussion. Gabriel Lavin , (Ph.D.) is a Brooklyn-based multi instrumentalist and scholar. He received a degree in oud performance from Beit Al Oud, Abu Dhabi (2024) and has performed as a solo artist and with ensembles across the United States, Oman, Egypt, Kuwait, the UAE, and elsewhere. Accompanied by Alber Baseel on percussion, his performance will feature various oud playing styles and musical genres from the Arab world and Turkey. Dubbed "one of New York’s most eclectic, interesting oudists,” oud player Brian Prunka ’s compositions have been described as “mesmerizing, intricate, anthemic” (NY Music Daily). He began his musical journey playing jazz guitar in New Orleans before falling in love with the Arabic oud. Since 2003 he has been deeply involved with New York’s Arabic music scene, performing with Simon Shaheen, Takht al-Nagham, Zikrayat, the NY Arabic orchestra, and the Bil Afrah Project, as well as his original music projects, including his jazz-Arabic project Nashaz and most recently a series of works for oud and string quartet. For this performance, he will be performing with Gideon Forbes (nay, saxophone, clarinet), Eric Allen (cello) and Alber Baseel (percussion). The music will explore the range of Prunka’s compositions, drawing on influences from maqam, jazz, classical music and more. The New York Oud Festival is sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by Brooklyn Arts Council.

Nicoletta Todesco 'The Cockroach Diary' Album Release
Doors at 7:30 PM | Music at 8:00 PM Guitarist and composer Nicoletta Todesco invites you into the surreal, intimate world of The Cockroach Diary — an album for guitar and voice that explores loneliness, creativity, and ambition in a hollow New York City. Stuck in a period of emotional and artistic limbo, the artist begins an unlikely conversation with a periplaneta americana dwelling in the hidden crevices of her apartment. This unexpected relationship sets her on a path of self-discovery, leading her beyond the constraints of musical scores and into a new, empowered identity. Through classical and electric guitar, poetry, and song, The Cockroach Diary is an intimate and explosive experience that transcends genre — drawing listeners into the mind of an artist navigating healing and transformation.

Bruce Molsky, Tony Trischka & Michael Daves
Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm $30 adv / $35 DOS Bruce Molsky is one of the most revered “multi-hyphenated career” ambassadors for America’s old-time mountain music. For decades, he’s been a globetrotting performer, ethnomusicologist and educator, a recording artist with an expansive discography including seven solo albums, well over a dozen collaborations and two Grammy-nominations. He’s also the classic “musician’s musician” – a man who’s received high praise from diverse fans and collaborators like Linda Ronstadt, Mark Knopfler, Celtic giants Donal Lunny and Andy Irvine, jazzer Bill Frisell and dobro master Jerry Douglas, a true country gentleman by way of the Big Apple aptly dubbed “the Rembrandt of Appalachian fiddlers” by virtuoso violinist and sometimes bandmate Darol Anger. Tony Trischka is considered to be the consummate banjo artist and perhaps the most influential banjo player in the roots music world. For more than 45 years, his stylings have inspired a whole generation of bluegrass and acoustic musicians with the many voices he has brought to the instrument. He’s been nominated twice for a Grammy award, at both the 40th and 50th annual Grammy ceremonies. He won three awards at the 2007 International Bluegrass Music Association gathering, including Recorded Event of the Year and Banjo Player of the Year. As a trio, Molsky, Trischka and Daves find raucously good-natured common ground between bluegrass and old-time styles. Heralded as “a leading light of the New York bluegrass scene” by the New York Times, Georgia-born guitarist/singer Michael Daves has garnered attention for his work with Tony Trischka, Steve Martin, and Chris Thile, with whom he shares a Grammy nomination for their 2011 album Sleep With One Eye Open. Daves’ unruly interpretations of American roots music standards have won him a place of almost fanatical admiration as a "renegade traditionalist." His most recent project is the double album Orchids and Violence, which renders identical track lists in contrasting bluegrass and experimental electric styles.

Khumariyaan
Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm $20 adv / $25 DOS Khumariyaan is celebrated for blending traditional folk music with modern styles. The band's name, translates as "the state of musical intoxication," capturing the essence of this hyper-folk jam band. Formed in 2009 in Peshawar, Pakistan as an instrumental quartet, Khumariyaan emerged during a tumultuous period marked by Talibanization, sectarian violence, military operations, and neo- imperialist expansions. In such a climate, art, including music, served as a form of resistance. In the intervening decade, Khumariyaan has expanded its repertory of culturally rooted music, and, in 2024, welcomed a vocalist (and third guitarist) into the mix. Hospitality is central to Pushtoon culture; Khumariyaan welcomes all under its expansive, potent, and intoxicating musical tent. With its propulsive, furious sound, Khumariyaan, "The Intoxicators," has reawakened the live music scene in Peshawar, the ancient crossroads through the Khyber Pass that links Pakistan and Afghanistan. The lute-like Pashto rubab is the meeting point for this transfixing, hyper-folk quintet that intertwines the djembe-like zerbaghali (clay or wooden goblet drum), sehtar (long-necked lute), and searching vocals underpinned with driving acoustic guitars. Khumariyaan’s rolling pulse and richly layered sound builds to frenzied intensity. It’s an addictive and accessible pleasure that has ushered in a new era for an eclipsed music. “We are group of individuals that have come together as one soul to experience and share the trance that is live acoustic music. To us, music is the best sublimated form of art. In our journey, we hope to entice musical ‘goose bumps’, and become a moving philosophical experience.” – rubab player and band leader Farhan Bogra. Khumariyaan began its journey in 2009 and made its US debut tour in 2014 as part of Center Stage. In the intervening decade they’ve shared their work in Europe, the Middle East, and in East Africa, spreading art like water on the fires of fundamentalism in all its forms. Farhan Bogra, founder, plays various ethnic lutes including the rubab and sehtar. Sparlay Rawail plays Dhol and lead guitar. He has a background in studio art and architecture from the National Council of the Arts. Shiraz Khan specializes in percussion and plays the indigenous percussion instrument Zerbaghali. Aamer Shafiq plays rhythm guitar and leads the Attan dance with the band. Obaid Khan is lead vocalist and guitarist. He holds a master's degree in Anthropology. Farhan Bogra – rabab and sehtar, band leader Sparlay Rawail – lead guitar and dhol Aamer Shafiq – rhythm guitar Shiraz Khan – percussion Obaid Khan - vocals “ Khumariyaan’s extended tunes spill across the border between Pashtoon folk and jam-band rock. It’s a cool vibe with the extra merit of puncturing stereotypes .” – Boston Globe Khumariyaan is on tour in the USA as part of Center Stage, an initiative of the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs with funding provided by the U.S. Government. It is administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts in cooperation with the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations.

Stephen Kellog's Old Friends Tour with Marc Roberge
Doors 8pm, Show 8:30pm $35 Marc Roberge is a songwriter and co-founder of the legendary American rock band O.A.R. Throughout nearly three decades of releasing music and touring with the band, Roberge has enjoyed scaled down, personal acoustic performances in which he can stretch out and tell the stories that give life to the songs. A Stephen Kellogg performance is like watching Ted Lasso live. Whether he’s playing music or doing stand-up, his shows leave people inspired and restored. For more than two decades, this wordsmith, Tedx speaker, stand- up comic, author and troubadour, has delighted audiences around the world. Planet Bluegrass calls him “a first class songwriter with a poet's gift for fresh imagery,” and Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz says of Kellogg, “there are few people in rock n’ roll who are just so great.” He has received the Armed Forces Entertainer of the Year award and has had his work nominated for a Grammy. Rolling Stone magazine describes his sound as “John Prine fronting the Heartbreakers.” The recent “Sit Down & Stand Up” Tour was a one man show that opened to rave reviews from fans and critics alike, culminating in a two-night filming for a forthcoming one-hour comedy special. A mix of music, humor and storytelling, each performance paints a unique canvas that covers the full spectrum of human emotions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll go home with a full heart.

Joachim Cooder
Doors. 8pm, Show 8:30pm $25 adv / $30 DOS Joachim Cooder grew up surrounded by music alongside his father, legendary guitarist Ry Cooder who took him on the road at an early age on the drums, playing both live and in the studio. These touring and recording projects allowed him to share stages and recordings with Johnny Cash, Ali Farka Touré, V. M. Bhatt, Steve Earle, John Lee Hooker, Dr. John, Nick Lowe, and most notably the award winning project The Buena Vista Social Club. Joachim discovered the joys of playing an electric mbira through a small amp, and the sound that emanated was inspired by the world music that always captivated him, “I’m always hearing some sort of defunct cosmic ice cream truck in my head – that’s the sound I’m after with my mbiras and tank drums and other tuned percussion." In 2020 Nonesuch Records released Over That Road I’m Bound, the songs of Uncle Dave Macon and Joachim’s unique and celebrated re-imagining of these early country songs and earning Joachim #1 Most Added at Americana, and a Top 10 Album & Single (US & UK). Here in 2023, the new album is being wrapped up for a February 2024 release.
