March 2014 Music Calendar

Calendar updated daily!

Bowlive V: Soulive’s annual residency at The Brooklyn Bowl is here for it’s FIFTH YEAR at the city’s best music venue, The Brooklyn Bowl.  For the past three years I have enjoyed the pleasure of covering Bowlive each night for Soulive’s record label, Royal Family Records. This will be one residency that you will not want to miss a single night of, always worth every penny and then some. Want a taste? Enjoy my recap on RoyalFamilyRecords.com from last year’s amazing 8-night run.

92Y Soul Jazz Festival: Two nights of soul jazz-modern music with a deep foundation in groove and melody and the freedom of improvisation with DJ Logic and Friends, Esperanza Spalding and Remembering Marian: A Celebration of the Music and Life of Marian McPartland.

The 2nd Annual Leprechaun’s Ball: Presented by Equifunk featuring Eddie Roberts & The Funky Charms with Nigel Hall, Jennifer Hartswick, Natalie Cressman, James Casey, Ron Johnson, John Staten, & also featuring Bobby Paltauf Band, and Dorsia.
