best last minute grabs. Now, if you're looking for something

indie venues. And if you're counting your pennies but still
want quality, there are always lesser known Gems at Union
Hall in Brooklyn, where music, batchy and literary vibes collide
as for the venues, picking just one feels like asking
me to choose a favorite chord. But I have to
give my pick of the week to the rooftop At

who are sharing a bill with Crumb this week at
Forest Hills Stadium. These Brooklyn based indie rockers consistently turn
real life stories into lush, reflective music that feels tailor
made for city nights. Forever Young and Bellallywood are also
sending ripples through public records with their forward thinking sets.

Don't sleep on these acts. My weekly music routine is
a chaotic symphony of jazz. Mondays at Village Vanguard, Open Mike,
Tuesdays at Pete's Candy Store in Williamsburg, where singer songwriters
spin gold for the cost of a beer, and Thursdays
spent sampling whatever's on at Bowery Ballroom or Brooklyn Steel
Each of these venues offers something unique, from the Vanguard's

hushed reverence to Bowery's up close energy and let's talk festivals.
My calendar is already blocked off for June's Governor's Ball
at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, with over sixty artists set

throw pop up performances under the stars. Finding these gems
