NYC Show Obsessive

  Bill: Towncryer/ Andy Clausen & Ryan El-Solh duo/ Anna Roberts-Gevalt Venue: Tradesman , 222 Bushwick Ave , Brooklyn, NY Date: Sunday 6/21/26 Door: Free 7:30pm Towncryer Affiliated: Mirror Queen, Roger That, Hopewell, Ghost of Past Mistakes Active: 2021 (Brooklyn, NY) Facebook I got to see something on the outdoor stage of Tradesman Bar with the return of Towncryer.  The last time I saw music in there the show was inside in the front corner of the bar.  It was nice to hang outdoors up until sunset.  Music curfew was 9 and after the music there was some sort've crowd (World Cup?) that filled the space up until the back area was kicked out so the upstairs neighbors could have their space after 11pm without outdoor bar chatter.   I was out all day at Lucky's for the memorial for the late great Chickenman (RIP) catching up with Mars Bar friends of yore that came to town, so I missed the rest of the bill but got there in time for the start of Towncryer's ...
