8pm- Dylan Nichols


Genre: Acoustic, singer-songwriter
For fans of: Fiona Apple, Lana del Rey, Feist, Laura Marling

LA native Dylan Nichols is an honest, passionate lyricist with deep and original music. By way of L.A., New York and Paris, Dylan Nichols released two EPs and collaborated with French electro musician Thylacine on "Distance," which was the iTunes free download of the week in France. Her authentic songwriting and unique sound toe the line between folk and pop, evoking the likes of Fiona Apple and Lana Del Rey. She plans to release several new singles this year.

“…this generation needs an authentic, down-to-earth artist pointing the way to calmer, more soulful times. That voice is Dylan Nichols… Her lyrics […] are filled with sensuous detail and complex emotion accurately conveyed.” – Ella Riley-Adams, The Faster Times

(Trans.): “Moving with mystery, William chose Dylan Nichols to baffle us even more on “Distance.” Rocking, then summoning, the voice of the young American guides us on this long road to an increasingly attractive unknown.”  –Fred Lombard, IndieMusic

9pm- Sara Nelms

Genre: singer songwriter/ folk
For fans of: Dixie chicks, Alanis Morrissett, Civil Wars

Originally from Florida, Sara’s sound combines the control and melodic power of her classical training, melancholy of lost loves, the southern stylings from a lifetime love affair with country music, and the grit and truth found in her current home in New York City. All of this still leaving you with the hope of a positive outcome in things to come. Her new album, Lover, No Longer captures this spirit completely, through woven tales of love, loss, heartache, and hope. “With her individual vocal delivery and strong songwriting, Nelms isn’t trying to be anyone else, and why should she be? Lover, No Longer is an extremely consistent effort and if this is anything to judge by, then it certainly looks like a long career is ahead of Sara Nelms," says Ross Barber.

Critic Justin Kreitzer says, “classically trained, her versatile acoustic-based sound is fluid enough to slide between intimate coffee shops and club stages with full band arrangements without losing any of the passion in translation.” Also, “she possesses one heck of a beautiful voice. And with the understated yet infectious country-leaning folk-pop melodies and captivating songwriting on her exceptional new album, Lover, No Longer; singer-songwriter Sara Nelms should attract the type of national attention that she deserves.”

11pm- Charlie Phillips

Genre: Singer-songwriter / Rock
For fans of: John Mayer, James Taylor, Jackson Browne

Charlie Phillips is a Brooklyn singer-songwriter by way of Schenectady, NY. He is influenced by folk rock of the 1960s and 70s for not what was, but what is possible. Charlie began his music career at SUNY Purchase studying composition in the Music Conservatory, before moving to New York. You can catch Charlie performing his melodic, guitar driven songs in many of New York's finest establishments.

“It’s the craft and artistry of guys like Charlie Phillips that makes the success of John Mayer’s overwrought sentimentality such a travesty... rooted in the kind of blue-eyed soul and guitar balladry that tempts comparisons but, by virtue of its diversity, it aspires to something more original.” Joshua Potter, Metroland

TUESDAY 12/9
7:30pm- Satellite Magazine: Let's Talk About Cities

Credit Steven Pisano via Creative Commons license.

The lineup for this month’s Cities+ event was selected by our friends at NYU’s Rudin Center for Transportation.

Open planning
With funding from Knight Foundation, OpenPlans led PlanningCamps in NYC, Oakland, and Philadelphia last year, bringing together more than 300 planners, organizers, civic technologists, and government employees for over 90 sessions exploring urban planning, technology, and social change. Kelly Donohue will discuss.

Who’s on board?

Earlier this year, TransitCenter, a civic philanthropy focused on transportation innovation, surveyed 12,000 Americans on their attitudes toward public transit and neighborhoods. What do Americans think about transit? What would make them more likely to ride it? Program analyst Steven Higashide will answer these questions and more.

Taxis, data, and neighborhoods

Since New York’s Taxi and Limousine Commission began collecting electronic records of yellow taxi trips in late 2008, over 1 billion trips have been logged on the city’s streets. There’s more to learn from the data besides how much people tip their drivers: it can tell us a great deal about neighborhoods, including which ones serve businesspeople, partygoers, and gentrifiers. Rodney Stiles, director of research at TLC, will discuss.

The future of maps
Something happened about five years ago when Google Maps came on the scene. Suddenly, a burst of tools and mapping enthusiasm created  a democratized and unstoppable trend of spatially representing everything and everyone, by everyone. What happens now? Jeff Ferzoco, designer of maps, information, and the experience of cities, as well as founder of design practice Linepointpath, will offer his perspective.

Video and transit
JP Chan, assistant director of multimedia production at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority as well as an independent filmmaker, will discuss how the agency tells its stories through video.

"A band blessed with talent for creating a dramatic sound that supports and gives a perfect platform for a voice so dynamic and soaring in its ability to move you with beautiful tones to a full almost angry vocal performance…" ("Indie Dunes")

11pm- Blood Sound

Genre: Post-Punk/Dream Pop
For fans of: the Drums, Beach Fossils, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Joy Division, Blondie, the Smiths

With members from Philly and Brooklyn, Blood Sound draws inspiration from the sounds of 80's UK post-punk and incorporates modern pop to create a unique dreamy atmosphere.

"The Misanthropic Motions EP is the work of seasoned pros, let alone the new band on the block. I am continually impressed by their dreamy post-punk sound that has filled up their lungs, the magic being released by every second of every song. Blood Sound are the next band to take over the NYC/BK scene, I’m sure of it, they’re too good not to."  -Leah Dingus (Dingus)

"Balancing between the psych pop sounds of recent memory and the synth pop waterfalls of ’80s sugary lava, Idle Hearts boxes the vagrant vocals of a Karen O influenced rendering inside an uplifting dusty yet urban guitar pop jolting!!! A catchy and immersed pop salty sweet affair to embrace with open arms!"  -Sound Injections

"Although there may be a paucity of information currently available online, their music demonstrates they’re certainly not lacking in imagination.  Blood Sound produce gorgeous lo-fi shoegazy dream pop of the highest order."  -Andy Von Pip (the VPME)

THURSDAY 12/11
8pm- The LoveHowl

Genre: Blues-Rock
For fans of: Deer Tick, The Black Keys, Brandi Carlile

Amy Sheehan, Alex Sherba, Jonathan Vergara and Jonah Durning-Hammond are  bringing back some classic rock and soul to Brooklyn. A project which developed from Sheehan's solo material, the group has morphed into a gutsy rock act with the release of their 5 song EP The Chase in 2013. They were recently featured in The Deli Magazine’s Best of NYC Emerging Artists of 2014 and placed #10 in the readers polls for Best Blues/Revival Rock band. Their song “I Don’t Know Why” appeared on the Season 4 Finale of the FX television series ‘Justified.’ They are set to release a series of singles in the fall in preparation for their debut LP.

“The LoveHowl is kicking up the dust behind raunchy guitars and sultry vocals…At times, the music might kick you in the gut, but don’t worry: They’ll be there to help you out when you’re down. Down-home tracks like ‘I Don’t Know Why’ never hurt so good.” – The Deli Magazine

“This EP [The Chase] consists of five gritty songs which all contain an overall essence of easy but edgy rock, although each track manages to stand apart from the next. All five pieces have catchy melodies and an abundance of backbone, which makes them go-to selections for those days when you may need a bit of a brazen musical pick-me-up.” – Blues Rock Review

“24 provides a smooth, yet energetic backdrop for Sheehan’s sultry voice, which could easily compete with Gwen Stefani’s, pre-No Doubt breakup.” - New York Social Status

9pm- At the Moment

Genre: INDIE POP
For fans of: Elvis Costello, Buddy Holly, Neil Finn

AT THE MOMENT is the latest band from NYC based songwriter, Daniel Stampfel (The Inevitable Breakups/The Skastafarians). With a sound that is all at once jangly, rocking, lovesick and hopeful, the band features accomplished NYC musicians Dave Van Epp (lead guitar), Emma DeCorsey (backing vocals), Turner Stough (bass), and Bradley Gunyon (drums).   Their debut Monte Carlo EP presents some of the best songs of Stampfel’s career — stripped of the boundaries of genre or expectations, they strongly stand alone, each an endlessly catchy hook wrapped in an expertly played rock song.

“AT THE MOMENT works a catchy area between the Jayhawks at their most cosmopolitan, the Raspberries at their most melodic and Big Star at their most focused, with a more propulsive, rhythmic drive than any of those bands.” – New York Music Daily

“AT THE MOMENT’s latest EP, Monte Carlo, is a foundational trio of summery pop songs that shimmer in the way that only great songs can”  - Stereosubversion.com

“…winsome songs, each with perfectly crafted hooks and ringing guitars.” – BrooklynRocks

9pm- Hamin Reed

Genre: Acoustic
For fans of: Elliott Smith, Tool

Hamin Reed [hay min reid] conveys love & hate, dark & light, everything between & everything outside, and what it means to the human psyche. Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1984, he has been performing regularly solo or with different musicians from all over the world. Currently based in New York City.

"An acoustic artist who challenges the notions of wood, strings, and sentiment . . . Just as much a slap in the face of your "folky" values as it is an embrace of humanity song, craft, and experiment." -- Jason Medina (Producer/Promoter, Transient Authority)

"Jeff Andrade's musical project Hamin Reed goes unparalleled in its diversity of sound and talent. His voice is warm and heartbreaking on ballads and he can rock harder than any hardcore musician I've seen. The lyrics are thought provoking and emotionally moving to whimsically entertaining. Hamin Reed crosses a plethora of genres with a facility that does not make their performances seem disjointed. It is to say that whilst traversing through a variety of styles, there exists a continuity that is never lacking. Hamin Reed is an act that defines what more acts in current state should be, talented, creative and entertaining." -- Daniel Ouellette (Performance Artist, Daniel Ouellette and the Shobijin)

"Get inside the head and heart of one of the most evoking songwriters I have ever encountered. Genius insight to the world and who we are in it. I've been everywhere from Bluebird Cafe in Nashville to The Bitter End in NYC listening to hundreds of songwriters and none have been quite as prodigious as Jeff. He has inspired and ignited me as both a listener and a producer-songwriter. He has been an exquisite new addition to my ipod as well as an amazing addition to my life as a friend. Check him out. You will not regret it." -- Nicole Berkowitz (Producer-songwriter, The Willow Tree)

Genre: Americana (folk/country/bluegrass/blues)
For fans of: Joni Mitchell, Iron & Wine, Nick Drake, Loretta Lynn, Jorma Kaukonen

Founded in 2010 by vocalist Sarah Mucho and guitarist Kurt Leege, The Sometime Boys have quickly leapt to the forefront of the urban roots music scene in New York. Featuring succinct songwriting, they blend elements of bluegrass, country, folk, gospel and zydeco into a unique, refreshing Americana sound. Framing the elegance of MAC award winning vocalist Sarah Mucho is an intricate canvas of violin, guitar and keyboard brushstrokes and a soulful rhythm section that won't quit. After recording their debut album, 'Any Day Now' in 2010, The Sometime Boys added Pete O'Connell on upright bass, Jay Cowit on drums and Rebecca Weiner Tompkins on violin and have since been tearing it up on the New York music scene.

"The Sometime Boys are an experimental folk band who deserve to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry." -adobeandteardrops.blogspot.com

"Times may be tough, but music like this makes us think about what is most important." -overidon.com

"Their debut album Any Day Now was one of 2011's best, and their gentle but intense and unselfconsciously beautiful new one Ice and Blood is a strong contender for best of 2012." - New York Music Daily

8pm- T.C. Costello

Genre: Celtic Gypsy Punk
For fans of: Gogol Bordello, Dropkick Murphys, Dreseden Dolls, The Pogues, Golem!

Equal parts punk rock and world music, T.C. Costello has been delighting and terrorizing audiences the world over for the past few years. His shows encourage audience participation on nearly every song and feature many instruments such as the accordion, the obscure 1920s marxophone, and the khaen, the national folk instrument of Laos. His repertoire of traditional songs feature everything from a 2,000-year old Korean love song to a rebellious English sea chanty. His original songs, based on world music, but with punk intensity, are often humorous, sometimes political, and without exception, his songs go well with beer.

“T.C. Costello’s cheeky Irish folk-punk is filled with energy and shout-along choruses reminiscent of the Dropkick Murphys, but with a more refined vibe. Beneath the bluster is a barroom Balkan-Weimar swing like Tom Waits getting his Gogol Bordello on.” - Charleston City Paper (Apr 26, 2014)

"To the tune of an accordion, guitar and some light chimes, you stop reading and start going on the journey with our author. From the meth labs of Indiana, to the southern US, to Russia, to the middle of the ocean you are with our songwriter. On this voyage you witness human rights abuses, lechery, theft, and homicide. You’re laughing the entire time, though. An intriguing part about this adventure is getting to see the horrific traumas that are sung about and being able to chuckle at the circumstances that surround them.” - Ando Ehlers, Sepiachord (Apr 15, 2014)

“T.C. Costello Twenty-First Century Scum Accordion punk? Accordion punk! Costello’s cantankerous tunes are dark, dirty and humorous: See “F#!k Off, My Fellow Man”; “Yuppiemandias.”  - Patrick Wall, The Free Times (Dec 18, 2012)

9pm- The Seventh Word

Genre: Rock and Roll
For fans of: Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Meat Puppets, White Stripes

In their current formation as a power trio, Brooklyn's The Seventh Word toes the line between dirty, distorted, distinctly American rock and sticky, cynical pop, with unexpected melodies supporting wistful lyrics regarding the complexities of lost love, memory, and imaginary mathematics. Singer/guitarist/pianist Isaiah Singer studied poetry with Ishmael Reed, and is a former member of Genesis P-Orridge's Psychic TV and Bryin Dall’s 4th Sign of the Apocalypse.

10pm- Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak

"You must not try to make love definite. It is the divine accident of life.”

So said Sherwood Anderson in his great book, Winesburg, Ohio. Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak knows all about accidents. Of birth. Of place and strange times. Of music heard through screen windows in summer, of lonely faces in discos while blizzards raged outside in the Northern night.

What’s a young criminal to do? Read every book he can get his hands on, obsess over record club 45s, play the theme song to MASH over and over on a rented trumpet, lose a thousand fistfights till he finally wins one. Ride a stolen bike, a bus, a train, get out.

Years later, redemption at last. Robert Whaley is just about where he should be. Compared to everyone from David Byrne to Leonard Cohen, he’s been welcoming audiences into a private world of enchantment and debauchery, and oh the influences are clear:  Anderson (words and emotions), Fossee (dance and controlled hysteria), poetry (Artaud and
O’Hara).

Whaley had a lot of practice riding the line between rock n’ roll, performance art, and stand up comedy as the front man for The Niagaras, a legendary force of Manhattan’s live music scene of 80s and 90s, when a wild front man could dance on bar tops and swing from the rafters without getting banned, except for when he was:

“Lunacy? Spectacle? And music too??”- Rene Chun, New York Times

No wonder the attraction included a “celebrity” following – everyone from Ethan Hawke to Kevin Spacey to Gwyneth Paltrow to the good people in Anthrax.

As a songwriter, Whaley has covered a lot of ground and has shown range through a number of outlets.  He cowrote and recorded the original score for the feature film, Joe the King, starring Val Kilmer, and has also written for the stage –his rock musical Wrong Way Up ran off-Broadway at NYC’s Zipper Theater. He is currently working with playwright Matthew Freeman on a musical adaptation of the great 1908 novel, Buried Alive – now titled Selling Sacred Objects.

Meat Market Lullaby, the second album from Comic Tales of Tragic Heartbreak, reflects an obsession with pre-1974 soul, filled with nuance and tender bitter sweetness.  Jazz pianist Mara Rosenbloom sets the tone with her loose/attacking, touch on grand piano and Rhodes. Pete O’Connell lends a sophisticated sense of drive and counterpoint as both bassist and co-arranger. Whaley’s long-time collaborator, lead guitarist and singer, Tony Grimaldi, shines with masterful harmonies and chunky guitar lines.  Chris Schultz, percussionist with Blue Man Group, shimmers, cascades and of course, rocks.

Recorded live in the studio with a minimum of overdubs, a maximum of misfit charm, and this: “Only the few know the sweetness of the twisted apples.” (Sherwood Anderson, again.)
