Ska at the Brooklyn Music Festival
If you are in NYC on the 4th of July, you might want to make your way to the bottom end of Flatbush Avenue, just before you hit the Rockaways, for the Brooklyn Music Festival. This massive event features some major dancehall, lover's rock, and reggae artists--plus there is some ska thrown in the mix for good measure with The Rudie Crew and The New York Ska Jazz Ensemble (both which should go down well with fans of the headliners). Details are as follows...
From out there, you just might be able to see the fireworks going off over the East River that night...

The fireworks are over the Hudson this year, you won't see anything, sorry
Last I hear Django was playing this too. I wonder why he's not on the flyer...
Thanks, Anon. Even if the fireworks are on the Hudson, you may be able to see them from out there. I have a friend who lives on the Rockaways and the Manhattan skyline is fully visible in the distance...
KJ:
Yeah, Django has this date on his website, but he's not listed on the BMF bill or website. Is he making a guest appearance with The Rudie Crew or NYSJE?

I will get to the bottom of this next time I talk to him and let you know. I forgot to ask him last night.
Thanks, KJ!
Django's not playing
KJ:
Thanks for letting us know.
Best,
Steve
