The annual Brooklyn BBQ Block Party returned to Williamsburg on June 21, with a unique outdoor performance at Kinfolk Studios. Singer/Songwriter Avi Wisnia connects some of today’s hottest independent musicians from all over NYC for free live music making and collaboration, featuring a wide variety of performances, food, drink, and special guests. The Brooklyn BBQ Block Party is a part of Make Music New York’s Festival for the summer solstice and parallels the organization’s mission of celebrating music in public spaces throughout the five boroughs of New York City. Kinfolk Studios in Brooklyn is a creative space featuring a rotating selection of projects highlighting the finest in art, music, food and culture. The Kinfolk Lounge will be open during this event, offering special BBQ-themed treats and summery drink specials. More festival information and full schedule at www.makemusicny.org.
Tomorrow’s Make Music NY BBQ Block Party is featured in The L Magazine! Feeling the love, Brooklyn.

Williamsburg: The 7th Annual MMNY Brooklyn BBQ Block Party, at Kinfolk
Avi Wisnia: “New York City is one of the most vibrant places in the world for creative new music; this city is saturated with new talent. The MMNY festival puts music out prominently in the public sphere, allowing New Yorkers to engage with the music made in their city. It’s like, for one day, enjoying music is unavoidable! My event [4pm to 10pm] taps into one of the epicenters of new creative output within the city: Williamsburg. At our BBQ Block party, we will feature an eclectic variety of hot emerging music makers, a wild display of visual art, BBQ-themed snacks and summery drinks, all showcased in a unique impromptu sidewalk performance-space where artists can engage freely with the pedestrian crowd. And then, there’s a secret after party, which we’ll tell you about if you show up.”
I can’t express the amount of gratitude I feel for each and every person that came and volunteered and performed and bid and danced and drank and hugged and donated at this year’s No Brainer Benefit Concert. You helped us raise more than $14,000!!! in one afternoon to fight brain tumors and fund future research. My brother is no longer here to witness all the love – but he always valued good friends and good music, and it meant so much to be able to bring music and friends together to honor his memory. We’ve posted lots of photos from the event, including this one here, featuring 7-year-old brain tumor survivor & mohawked-violinist Owen River Dodd (with our MC Marc Kaye). Click below to view.
