Saturday • 6:15 pm – 7:00 pm | The Alley (93 St & 118 Ave (Southside of 118))

SHAGUAR Our musical speciality is injecting rockabilly mojo into radio classics! We play danceable mash-ups of radio favorite rock tunes with a rockabilly/country-swing style that makes folks want to get up and shake it. Add cool TV and movie themes and you could be served up anything from Prince to The Cars, maybe a dash of instrumental Floyd, or Frampton backed by the Stray Cats for extra flavor…you never know, the Police might even show up…they always do when Tom Jones has gotten drunk again. SHAGUAR: Purveyors of Hybrid Rockabilly Rockabilly and Surf Rock, with a tinge of twang and a pinch of punk

The Misery Mountain Boys

Friday • 7:45 pm - 8:30 pm | The Alley (93 St & 118 Ave (Southside of 118))

The Misery Mountain Boys are a 4 piece band including guitar, upright bass, clarinet, saxophone, and drums (brushes), playing original music inspired by the 1930/40's era of swing and jump blues. You might hear the tunes of the Misery Mountain Boys drifting from behind a rotating bookcase of a 1930’s speakeasy. Harkening back to a simpler time, the MMB’s create a collaborative soundscape infused with tongue in cheek wit, playfulness, and nostalgia. The band’s performance delivers as both classic and fresh, offering a generous variety of sweaty jazz numbers, velvety love songs, and swingin' jump-blues.
