Hudson Square Music & Wine Festival – the after-work backyard blowout

Hosted by: City Winery, Great Performances, Trinity Real Estate

Tuesday June 29 – 5:00 pm

For a sidetrip, Al Kooper loves to abscond from his regular band with the bassist & drummer and play the music he grew up on and learned how to play guitar as a result.

So Al locks up the keyboards for a coupla hours and parades a cavalcade of guitar-driven rockabilly anthems from his youth. Elvis (Presley), Rick Nelson, Link Wray, Buddy Holly, Jimmy Reed, Gene Vincent, Buddy Knox, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Dale Hawkins, Bo Diddley, and on a good night Procul Harum can all be included the repertoire.

These shows are few & far between, so make sure to come on down and see Al as you haven’t seen him before. The Al Kooper Rockabilly Trio ain’t to be missed.

While New York has it’s share of wonderful outdoor music festivals in City Parks, The Hudson Square Music and Wine Festival takes place in the true Urban environment that makes New York City such a special place to live and work. The beautiful weather is here and it’s time to come out of hibernation.

Hosted by City Winery, Great Performances, Trinity Real Estate and the Hudson Square Connection.
