Brooklyn Country

SEAN KERSHAW & THE NEW JACK RAMBLERS • CLIFF WESTFALL

Plus: WFMU's Honkytonk Radio Girl

For all of you who miss the old Hank's Honkytonk Brunch, we’ve got a treat coming your way when Sean Kershaw & The New Jack Ramblers play the new Hank's for the first time! Sean and co. play hi-octane honkytonk straight outta Brooklyn

Cliff Westfall writes songs about heartache, loss, and addiction… you know, funny songs. Or he can turn on a dime and dive headlong into a sentimental weeper. The Kentucky native delivers with a mixture of wit and bravado that, for Westfall, is central to what country music is all about. His debut album, Baby You Win, appeared on multiple Best of 2018 lists, and received acclaim in publications including Saving Country Music, No Depression, Magnet, PopMatters, Country Music People (UK), Lonesome Highway (Ireland) and many others. Backed by a crew of some of NYC’s finest musicians, his songs combine clever and insightful lyrics with classic honky tonk hooks.

DJ sets before, between, and after by WFMU's Honkyonk Radio Girl!

In The Skin

Urban Styles: Graffiti In New York Hardcore second edition release party. Mr. Lee moderates a panel discussion on the connection between tattoos, graffiti, and New York Hardcore.

Urban Styles the first book from author Freddy Alva, is a subterranean adventure back to a time when subcultures and underground movements blended seamlessly and went largely unnoticed by the mainstream world. Urban Styles deftly straddles the seemingly in congruent worlds of graffiti culture and the hardcore punk scene of the 1980s to tell the story of a unique moment in time when crossover between the two outlaw cultures was a common, if not heralded, occurrence. Urban Styles chronicles a gritty New York City and its boroughs while telling the stories of forgotten revolutionaries who were as familiar with stealth runs through train yards as they were slamming on the CBGB dance floor.

Get Up To Get Down

“In this band, New York and New Orleans meet at the crossroads and no one moves an inch!" -Steve Myers

After touring most of the world with The Afghan Whigs, singer Steve Myers returned home only to get shot and left for dead on a rainy New Orleans street. Myers moved to New York to recover and try to put his past behind him only joining the Dulli lead Twilight Singers occasionally for shows on the East Coast or recording down South. Not until hooking up with fellow New Orleanian Jagon Eldridge in late 2003 did he think about starting a band of his own. The original line up for Mighty Fine consist of Jagon Eldrige and Richie Pomerantz ( Andy G. &The Roller Kings), Mitro Valsamis (Trickbabys) and Paul Verciglio. For the last 10 years Mighty Fine has rocked all over New York state, sharing the stage with bands TV On The Radio, Andre Williams, The Dirtbombs, The Slackers, Titus Andronicus, The Gories, Mary Weiss and The Afghan Whigs.  After releasing the album Get Up To Get Down on Drugfront Records in late 2011 that included the singles" Ready To Roar" featuring Greg Dulli, "Black Train" and "Something For Your Ass" featuring Mick Collins, the band went thru several lineup changes including a UK tour lineup that included Collins on guitar. After taking some time to regroup Mighty Fine is back to what it does best, playing punk/soul all over NY State now with new member’s Bradley Dean (The Visitors) on guitar and Mickey Finn (Boss Hog) on Keys. Sweaty Rump Shakin' Punk Soul is a great way to describe the band, the combination of a James Brown styled soul review and sweaty punk rock show.

(Workdogs, Jam Messengers), Kai Eric (Panther Burns), Andrew Cushen (Hellhounds, Chop Shop), Jack Martin (Kid Congo), and Eric Blitz (Missing Foundation, Greg Ginn band). The Women Of The Night are a dream-pop/proto-punk combo out of New York City. They make distillations of lost unintentional everyday happenings
