Beat Festival at Waterfront.

That's beat as in "a main accent or rhythmic unit in music or poetry" not as in "Beatnik". September 22nd at 7:30 pm Marshall L. Davis Jr and friends perform at the Waterfront Museum in Red Hook. This event looks awesome and may sell out. For more info read below and to buy tickets click here.

"Crown Heights-based hoofer Marshall Davis Jr. brings his electrifying talents to the full borough of Brooklyn. Marshall, who regularly performs with Savion Glover, makes profound music in the tradition of tap.Flanked by special guests in his unique choreography, Marshall will transfer his extraordinary, organic musicality to the soul of each audience member."

The Total Red Hook Immersion.

We're sponsors of this event this weekend, along with Brooklyn Based and Brooklyn Brewery!  Come check it out!  It's this Saturday, June 8th from noon-6pm in Red Hook.  In addition to free brews and discounts to really great shops around Red Hook, their will be live music at Jalopy theater towards the end of the day.  Read more about this event below as seen on Brooklyn Based.

To take part in this neighborhood-wide celebration, you’ll need to score one of our 500 FREE Immersion cards, a golden ticket that will get you complimentary brews at Brooklyn Ice House, Rocky Sullivan’s, Fort Defiance and Jalopy Tavern; complimentary Local 1, Local 2, or Sorachi Ace over brunches at The Good Fork, Kevin’s and Home/Made, plus 15% off at local shops like Foxy & Winston and Brooklyn Slate Company, $2 off lobster rolls from Red Hook Lobster Pound and more sweet deals. A full map of participants to date is here.
For the truly adventurous (and inveterate Instagrammers), we’ll challenge you to five dares on the day of the immersion. Those who actually follow through, with pictures to prove it, will win great prizes like a private tour of Brooklyn Winery and a class for two at Pioneer Works.
And for the first year ever, we’ll also have live music at our after party, thanks to our supporting sponsor Realty Collective. Jalopy Theater is opening up early to host rising electro-folk-pop stars, Wyatt, who’ll be playing a free show at 5pm before heading to BAM for a later gig.
To get in on all the deals, the beers, and the show, you’ll need to pick up an immersion card, which we will be handing out at both Brooklyn Ice House and Rocky Sullivan’s starting at noon. We suggest arriving early to snag one–last year we passed out all 500 cards in an hour. And be sure to follow @BrooklynBased and @BrooklynBrewery on Twitter for updates on how many cards are left, random giveaways, and other tomfoolery.
