Chris Campion presents "Gen-X-istentialism Workshop"
Tuesday November 25th
Chris Campion is not a man of the digital age - thank God. While the rest of us peck away at glass screens, oversharing our innards to the void, Chris spins tales the old-fashioned way: out loud, with a guitar in hands and a song on his lips.
Acclaimed for his rollicking off-Broadway show "Escape From Bellevue" and the wild memoir that followed, he now returns with a brand-new evening of music, monologues, and meandering Gen X musings. The show is part storytelling, part stand-up, part singalong, and wholly unpredictable - the kind of night that makes you forget you even own a phone.
Join us for a sneak preview of Chris’s new performance in our intimate back room before it moves on to the big stage. For more info on Chris, download his albums here: https://christopherjohncampion.bandcamp.com.

Faith NYC / Lucky 7 NYC
Tuesday December 9th
9:30 - The emergence of Felice Rosser’s FaithNYC reveals another facet of the seemingly infinite diamond of Black American music. Born in Detroit, she experienced Motown, the 1967 riots, Funkadelic, The MC5, The Stooges and The New York Dolls before moving to New York City for college. Blown away by Television at CBGB’s, she became part of the scene, befriending Samo— Jean Michel Basquiat’s tag at that time—and starting to write songs and play bass. Inspired by punk’s DIY attitude, Rock & Roll, Funk, Free Jazz, Dub, Reggae and the new Hip Hop scene all became part of her musical language. She was the bass player in Brooklyn’s all-female reggae band Sistren before she formed FaithNYC, which became part of Vernon Reid’s Black Rock Coalition. Guitarist Al Maddy was a member of Sire recording artists The Nitecaps and has played with artists as varied as Donovan and the Moroccan Jajouka master Bachir Attar. His funky psychedelic style helps create groove and space in FaithNYC's music.
8:00pm - Lucky 7 is back with a vengeance. Formed by Barry Ryan (Rockats) and Kenny Margolis (Mink DeVille,Cracker), Lucky 7 recorded three albums and toured The USA, Canada, Europe and Scandinavia from the mid 80’s to the mid 90’s. Writers from Rolling Stone and The New York Times have called their music zydebilly and a Cajun rhythm & blues rock’n’roll gumbo. Back with Ryan and Margolis are percussionist Boris Kinberg. Joining Lucky 7 is drummer Dave Donen, who has played with many great artists including Chuck Berry, Tim Hardin, Lenny Kaye and Marc Ribot and has played on 65+ recordings.
