KOLARS To Shine In Brooklyn
Los Angeles and Boston natives, Rob Kolar and Lauren Brown, joined forces almost two years ago to create their genre-defying sound that they claim to be “Desert Disco, Glam-a-Billy, Space Blues, R&Beyond.” With inspirations such as David Bowie, The Growlers, The Cure, Elvis, Tame Impala, and more, it makes sense that their music be just as beautifully diverse. While performing their imaginative music, Kolar sings and strums his guitar, while Brown uses her whole body as a percussion instrument. It’s truly something you must see to believe…and you have the chance to on Mar. 3 at Rough Trade in Brooklyn. For tickets, visit axs.com.

Hosted at The Parkside Lounge in NYC on Mar. 11, the 32nd annual tribute to George L.

Bill Popp has been keeping the kind hearted, music-filled spirit of his father alive through these benefit shows every year for over three decades. For only a suggested donation of $10 at the door, you, too, can join in and raise money for an amazing organization, hear great music of various genres, and honor a wonderful father, friend, and person.
