system, we found where we were going.Ī small sign reading “Zebulon,” over the doorway of 250 Wythe Ave., was the only indication that there was anything related to possible activity in the neighborhood. Nevertheless, with Andrew driving and through the use of the invaluable G.P.S. It appears to be totally deserted and on a cold winter night you could almost feel that Harry Lime (disguised as Orson Welles “The Third Man”) was lurking in a dark doorway of an abandoned warehouse. in, I believe, Williamsburg, that has the sinister feeling of an iron curtain country in the depths of the Cold War. Zebulon is a club situated in a particular section of Wythe Ave. It is like another world to me and I am fascinated with what I discover every time I go there. I might have crossed the bridge into Brooklyn two dozen times. I have been living in Manhattan since 1960 and visiting New York City since 1939. On a lowering February night, Jef Soubiran and his brother Joce invited me to their club in Brooklyn to hear one of the groups who will appear on the CareFusion New York Jazz Festival in June (17th, to be exact). We announced the schedule for the CareFusion New York Jazz Festival a few days ago and after 60 years of producing jazz events I can still get excited actually, more than usual. KWOM will be raffling a pair of 3-day passes at our next event to one lucky winner who will get the gift of a magical experience at Stir Fry Music and Arts Festival 2015.Natural Born Killers: (L-R) Peter Evans, Kevin Shea, Jon Iragagon and Moppa Elliott The first tier 3-day pass is a hundred dollars, second tier 3-day passes are a hundred and fifty, and third tier 3-day passes are a hundred and seventy-five. Tickets go on sale May 1 st and will be sold in tiers. Who knows, maybe Derek may even end up Dj-ing our Silent Disco tent, just as Mark Foster of Foster the People did for us last year at Stir Fry. Derek is currently on his “Taking Up Your Precious Time” tour and though he is not on the bill for this festival, he plans on attending in support of musicians he respects and appreciates. Fans from all over the country are expected to be traveling to the festival to hear what could be a one of a kind Pretty Lights experience. We will also be setting up our Silent Disco tent so that the party can continue late into the next morning without the inconvenience of disturbing other campers throughout the festival who are resting up for the performances to come.ĭerek Vincent Smith of Pretty Lights is rumored to be organizing a set with musicians from several of the acts performing that weekend. Walking vendors are also encouraged to help promote a creative social environment. There will be plenty of vendors trading art, clothes, jewelry and all sorts of treasures. Other headlining acts this year are Dopapod, Papadosio, Keller Williams, John Butler Trio, Lettuce, Lotus, Emancipator, Consider the Source, and many more. Our very own Dj “Jazzy” George Kotsiras was just announced to be one of the main acts headlining this year’s Stir Fry Music & Arts Festival in Scranton, Pennsylvania, July 9 th to July 12th.
