Scott Stein & Friends

Scott Stein is a Brooklyn-based pianist, songwriter, and sought-after collaborator and sideman, appearing with a diverse array of artists including Andi Rae Healy, Constantine Maroulis and Brooke Moriber. As a solo artist, his plain-spoken vocal delivery calls to mind Paul Simon's everyman-poet while his piano chops have garnered comparisons to Bruce Hornsby and Elton John. His latest EP Uphill is a song cycle about grief, loss, and coming out on the other side; the songs take a moodier turn as synthesizers swirl and backwards guitars fade in and out like ghosts. Melodies and sly musicianship still form the songs' backbone (think Ben Folds and Sting channeling Big Star's Third).

WILLEM DASHOWA Drag and Burlesque Tribute to Willem Dafoe

https://forbiddentickets.com/events/last-chance-dancers/74a1ac2722

He's got a career that spans longer than most of us have been alive. From weird art films to comic book blockbusters, few actors have the range of Willem Dafoe. That's why we've had to amass a whole cast of performers in order to properly tribute him.

Featuring drag, burlesque, sideshow, and good ol' fashioned ACTING, this event is for die hard and casual fans as we ask the big questions.

What if Norman Osborn talked to someone other than that mask?
Which version of Nosferatu is better?
Is his penis really that big?

All this and more shall be revealed in the backroom of Freddy's!

STARRING

Sweaty Eddie
Faxtra Larq
Felix Elixer
Johnny Caligula
Dick Move
Charles Stunning
Maggie McMuffin
Raina Sinclair

TICKETS ARE $10 ONLINE AND $15 AT THE DOOR. WE WILL ALSO BE ACCEPTING TIPS.

Freddy's has an ADA ramp to access the building and everything inside is level. It is wheelchair accessible but space in the backroom is tight. Please contact maggiemcmuffinburlesque@gmail.com with any specific accessibility needs or questions.

Dream Skills

https://dreamskills.bandcamp.com/

Dream Skills utilizes a simple Euro-rack modular set up, coupled with analog synthesis in order to harness the techniques of analog triggering and sequencing of collected natural sounds, digitized into WAV samples, and sent out into the world in my attempt to convey personal expression through sound. Explorations into a variety of patterns and continual vibrations, which, in theory, could be infinite - provide the listener with my own imagined and lived experiences of our beautiful, yet destructive man made and natural worlds.
