SILO, a brand new 500-cap nightclub in Brooklyn, is opening on Feb. 10, with an exciting lineup of DJ’s gracing the stage.
NYC promoter duo Alex Neuhausen and Lilly Wolfson created SILO. They are known for making their ‘Secret Loft’ series, an underground party that began in a refurbished Brooklyn auto garage, which has been praised by the New York Times and Timeout. They have been planning and fundraising for the new club for the past three years. According to them, the name SILO “captures the industrial feel of the space and the neighborhood, like a military missile silo. It also feels like a grain silo (big vertical cylinder) turned on its side.”
The venue will host DJs and producers who represent the spectrum of dance music and the cultures and communities that have grown up around them. There will be special events, and even “vinyl only” nights, where people can take time and appreciate the classic long-play records. They have teased an exciting lineup of DJs, including the sounds of Josh Wink, the grooves of acid techno artist Hiroko Yamamura, and a special all-nighter with Eli Escobar.
For the production of SILO, the venue is equipped with high-tech sound and light fixtures, as well as a protein-packed menu and classic drinks. Gender equality is a core principle of the venue, specifically empowering women to become more involved in the nightlife and the music industry.
The venue will open on Feb. 10, with tickets on sale to the shows announced here.

Fans of improvisational jazz, electronica and progressive rock will have the perfect sonic meal for their eclectic tastes when Spaghetti Eastern Music’s Two Bass Hit Ensemble returns to Harlem’s Silvana, part of their residency, on Tuesday, December 27 at 8 p.m.
The band is an off-shoot of Spaghetti Eastern Music, the solo venture of genre-leaping NYC/Hudson Valley guitarist Sal Cataldi. The guitarist is joined in this quartet by two esteemed bass players, David C. Gross and Tom Semioli, and veteran NYC drummer/percussionist, David Donen. Collectively, the four have worked with diverse artists including Stephen Stills, Humble Pie, Aztec Two-Step, Chuck Berry, Marc Ribot, The Lenny Kaye Connection, The Joffrey Ballet, performance artist Charles Dennis and the guitar orchestra of minimalist composer Rhys Chatham.
The music of Two Bass Hit draws inspiration from a wide variety of musical styles, from the electric fusion of ‘70s-era Miles Davis, progressive rock like King Crimson and the funk/psychedelia of Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsys. The humbly band takes its name, “Two Bass Hit,” from the title of a Dizzy Gillespie/John Lewis composition featured on Miles Davis’ Milestones album.
While bassist Semioli holds down the grooves, his counterpart Gross plies a broader palate with his extended range six-string electric bass – providing chords and counter-melodies to guitarist Cataldi’s painterly ambient atmospheres and loops and blues and psychedelia-inflected soloing. Drummer Donen provides beats that draw upon rock and tribal patterns.
The December 27 residency engagement for Spaghetti Eastern Music is the latest in the quartet’s on-going residency at Silvana, a venue featuring some of the best jazz, R&B and modern rock acts in NYC. No cover, two drink minimum; Silvana is located at 300 W 116 Street in Harlem.
Bassist Gross has written 17 books and 3 instructional videos. Together with Semioli, he is the co-host “The Notes From An Artist Radio Show” on cygnusradio.com Monday nights at 8 PM EDT, and the “Notes From An Artist” podcast available on iTunes, Spotify, and all podcast platforms. Semioli is the creator of the popular Know Your Bass Player blog.
Spaghetti Eastern Music has received consistent raves since Cataldi’s 2016 debut disc under the moniker, “Sketches of Spam” (Bad Egg Records). The New York Times writes “Cataldi’s original instrumentals and acoustic vocal tunes have a beat unmistakably his own” while Time Out New York says, “the largely instrumental, Eastern-influenced jams are infused with some delicate guitar work and hauntingly moody atmosphere.” Cataldi and his Spaghetti Eastern has been called “a wild ride” by Radio Woodstock, “beautiful and unique” by WFUV’s Mixed Bag, “charmingly melodic and off-center” by WFMU, while NYS Music adds: “If Walt Disney World’s Space Mountain had a secret chill detour, Spaghetti Eastern Music would be the soundtrack.” Hudson Valley One labels the sound:“Part Sergio Leone fever dream, part Ravi Shankar raga, a whirling dervish of musical creation.”
Bandleader, Composer, Drummer, and Dhol Player Sunny Jain will perform distinct shows at Symphone Space in January, with each show giving focus to a specific side of his genre-spanning artistry. The concerts take place in Symphony Space’s Leonard Nimoy Thalia theater, January 28 – February 9, 2023.
The career of Sunny Jain is a celebration of cultural diaspora with deep-rooted tradition that ripples outward, changing, and being changed by, the cultures it touches. Called the “Hendrix of dhol” by Manchester Salon (UK), he is best known for founding the band Red Baraat, a frenzied fusion of bhangra, hip-hop, jazz, rock, and sheer, unbridled energy that NPR has called “the best party band in years.”
2022 has been a banner year for Jain. He joined Planet Drum for their first show in 15 years, playing alongside drumming legends Mickey Hart (The Grateful Dead), Zakir Hussain, and Giovanni Hidalgo. He embarked on a milestone tour to Pakistan with his Wild Wild East band, after headlining the renowned Smithsonian Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington D.C. He debuted the 8-piece Bollywood Biggish Band at Lincoln Center, NYC, drawing close to 1,000 people for their “Celebrate Love” event. Jain also started developing his first musical theatrical piece called Love Force—commissioned by Joe’s Pub New York Voices, and supported by National Endowment for the Arts and New York State Council on the Arts—after he was awarded the MAP Fund in 2021. All the while, Jain was globe-trotting with Red Baraat.
Jain’s Symphony Space music residency begins on Saturday, January 28, at 7:30pm with Jain’s Wild Wild East, an eclectic evening of music that explores the meeting of east and west, Jain’s identity as a first-generation South Asian–American, and his own family’s immigration story. The music melds Bollywood, Spaghetti Westerns, Punjabi folk, jazz, and psychedelic surf guitar. Reviewing the Wild Wild East album—Jain’s first in a decade, released by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in 2020—Jon Pareles of The New York Times called the title track “furiously propulsive,” and many have acclaimed the album as Jain’s best work yet. Pitchfork wrote, “Many of these compositions are intellectually thrilling to unravel,” noting its “shimmering walls of sound [that] feel like floating face-down in a pool and watching light patterns dance on the floor.” The performance at Symphony Space features Ben Parag (vocals), Lynn Ligammari (tenor saxophone), Shubh Saran (guitar), and Almog Sharvit (bass), in addition to Sunny Jain (drumset, dhol).
On Saturday, February 4 at 7:30pm, the residency continues with American Lullabies, an exploration of the music of Jain’s American experience that combines the soundtrack of his childhood (Jain Bhajans: devotional songs from the 6,000-year-old Indian religion, Jainism) with progressive rock and jazz. Jain is joined by Ganavya (vocals), Grey Mcmurray (guitar), and Shazad Ismaily (bass).
Concluding the residency, on Thursday, February 9, at 7:30pm, is Dholusion, in which Jain is joined by Yamini Kalluri (dancer), Adam O’Farrill (trumpet), and Eva Lawitts (bass), blending the Indian classical dance tradition of Kuchipudi with folk percussion and jazz. Based on musical improvisation, this project creates an entirely fresh sound.
Symphony Space is located on the Upper Level at 2537 Broadway, Manhattan. Tickets can be purchased here.

Located north of Watertown, the Clayton Opera House in the town of Clayton is an historic performance venue, and serves as a hub for cultural and community events for over a centurty. Opened in 1903, the four-story brick building overlooks the St. Lawrence River, and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 2003, the Thousand Islands Performing Arts Fund (TIPAF) and the Town of Clayton contractually agreed upon the renovation and revival of the Opera House. TIPAF raised $3,275,000 for the 2007 renovation of the facility and now manages the ongoing operations of the Opera House.
The revived and renovated Clayton Opera House is the year-round performance center for the region and is used for a wide range of cultural, educational, social and community events. In a given year, the opera house attendance is typically anywhere between 12,000-15,000.

New York City-based four-piece alternative pop/rock band Kids That Fly have released their newest five-track EP Tracks of the High Line, on December 9. With hopes of recreating their viral 2019 single “Kiss Her You Fool,” the group came up with this nostalgic, genre-blending EP. Along with this, the band has also released a VHS Music video for the song “Talk of the Town,” a catchy pop/alternative hit.
In October, Kids that Fly released the EP’s lead single, “High Line,” along with a vibrant music video to pair. “The synth-y beat and fast drums brought me back…it’s pop with enticing guitar chords and a synth that fits right in…conjures 80’s nostalgia. ‘High Line’ evokes a more technical The 1975, a less sad Backseat Lovers,” said NYS Music contributor Sydney Pollack in October.
Yet their newest “Talk of the Town” showcases the energy of Tracks of the High Line in its entirety, which can be described as a combination of sounds from the early 2000s alt-rock era, 80s synth pop, British alternative, and modern pop/rock.
Nick Smeriglio (vocals/guitar), Blake Henry (guitar/synth), Braden Frandino (bass/vocals) and Ryan Hendry (drums/vocals) make up Kids That Fly. Composed of college comrades, they formed in the fall of 2018 while attending the University of Connecticut. Having all grown up in Connecticut, the crew has had a lot of influence from other Connecticut musicians such as Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and indie/rock duo MGMT.
Tracks of the High Line is the “next logical step in the band’s evolution,” shares Nick. Composed of songs written throughout the heart and tail end of the pandemic. “It’s a reflection of lots of different romantic experiences that the four of us have had,” Nick confides. “On a deeper level though, it deals with the different struggles that came from the pandemic, how the isolation took a toll on people, and the recovery of it all.”
“Throughout the process we’ve been experimenting with different synthesizers and other interesting digital production techniques that give each song a bit of a retro futuristic style,” Braden reflects about the EP’s sounds.
Since the very beginning, the band has always put a focus on their fans, prioritizing the importance of live music. With their electrifying up close and personal performances, Kids That Fly will continue to prove their vast potential. You won’t want to miss out on their newest viral hits on Tracks of the High Line.

Next Jazz Legacy is a program by New Music USA and the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice that addresses gender and racial inequities by providing opportunities for mentorship and professional development to those who have been underrepresented in jazz. Within their cohort is a lineup of emerging women and nonbinary musicians. The program is co-founded by NEA Jazz Master and founder of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice Terri Lyne Carrington and New Music USA President & CEO Vanessa Reed.
Those involved with the program were able to learn valuable skills, and even had apprenticeships with jazz icons like Esperanza Spalding, Lizz Wright, Marcus Miller, Mary Halvorson, Tia Fuller, Linda May Han Oh, and Chris Potter. Throughout the year, awardees performed on prestigious stages at local and national jazz events throughout the country, including at the Kennedy Center’s Mary Lou Williams Jazz Festivaland as part of a special Livestream Concert produced by WBGO.

Tickets to see the Winter Jazzfest are on sale now.
On Saturday, December 17th, Kendall Street Company closed their two-night run at Mercury Lounge in New York City. Based out of Charlottesville, VA, the band headlined Friday and Saturday night in the East Village with opening performances from Litz and One Time Weekend, respectively. Kendall Street Company brings a unique flare comprised of deep, genre-fluid compositions and unfiltered silly banter.
The company opened their second night with their reggae groove, “Marty Song.” After warming up the crowd with the sweet slow beats of the song, the band took the jam in a very dark direction, foretelling of the serious improvisation to come the rest of the night.
Next, the band punched into “Board Shorts.” Lead guitarist, Ben Laderberg shredded through ska and funk scales as Kendall Street continued to glide through different genres in their original composition. Following was a cover of Wet Leg’s “Chaise Longue” whose silly spoken-word lyrics fit perfectly in the song repertoire of Virginia’s most whimsical jam-band.
“Lunar Dude” had interstellar jams leading into an extended jam, and a buttery smooth transition into the chorus of “Walking on the Moon” by the Police and back into the resolution of the spacey jam. The next cover of the set was “I Got Stoned and I Missed It” by Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show. Rolling solos from saxophonist, Jake Vannaman carried the fun energy into a rendition of their blissful tune, “Cherry Tree.”
Kendall Street Company then performed one of their newest songs, “California #24” which can be found on their EP, Untitled California Project. This song was written and sung by guitarist Laderberg features spoken-word lyrics and funky guitar solos reminiscent of Frank Zappa.
After this heater, the crowd got to cool down while enjoying the slow acoustic melody of “Lady in Green” from the album The Stories We Write for Ourselves. The waves of energy at Mercury Lounge were brought up with the song “Telephone,” whose extended jam provided a seamless transition into “Say Hey” sung by bassist, Brian Roy before resolving the “Telephone” jam.
Apropos to the holiday spirit, Kendall Street Company played a quick rendition of “Trucking Trees for Christmas” by Red Simpson followed by a cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Bertha” in the band’s signature jazz-grass style. The crowd was then treated to “Katz in ze Haus,” whose techno rave vibes are hilarious paired with a silly and ambiguous European accent from Louis Smith, followed by their most streamed hit, “Cars” which came with a KSC-style medley at the end of “Just a Friend” by Biz Markie and Soulja Boi.
Encoring the show with “Wasted,” the room was filled with rattling klezmer scales from Vanaman, as drummer Ryan Wood solos on his toms and caps off the set, the band went into a quick chorus of their song, “Aged White Cheddar” at the request of a fan up front.
Kendall Street Company’s unique art has gained serious traction in the Jam band scene with future performances opening for bands such as, The Infamous Stringdusters, Twiddle, and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong.

A special reunion is taking place with the indie-band The Walkmen, as they are endeavoring on their first tour since a decade. The group is travelling to multiple metropolitan areas, including Manhattan, Philadelphia, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
The Walkmen Tour Announcement Poster
As has been recently announced, the Walkmen are performing shows in Philadelphia on May 2nd and 3rd, Chicago on May 19 and 20, and in D.C. on May 25 and 26. The band is also premiering for a show at Shaky Knees on Sunday, May 7, 2023, while more festival announcements are coming up soon.
Back in 2013, an unnamed Walkmen band member (Peter Bauer) announced to the Washington Post that we were going on an ‘extreme hiatus. Instead, in the ensuing years, we’ve all worked on a ton of different projects in a ton of different places. Recently, someone sent us a clip of us playing at Irving Plaza from 2003, and it just looked very exciting. So, we’ve decided we’d like to play together again. Right now, we are very thrilled to announce that we will be playing at Webster Hall in 2023.
