If you’ve never seen Lou Reed, then I’m sorry but you are not yet a New Yorker no matter how many years of high rent and sticky summers you’ve put in. Fortunately, tonight you can fix this. Reed and icons like Todd Rundgren, jazz legend Geri Allen, Rosanne Cash, Eric Mingus and more for a Celebrate Brooklyn bash to celebrate the 50th anniversary of freedom rides with music from the civil rights movement.

The entire event is free with a suggested donation of $3. Check out the full lineup and event details HERE.

Jill S.

Jill is an Ohio native and Boston University graduate who refuses to stop saying "pop" and wearing her Red Sox gear despite being heckled for doing so since moving to Brooklyn. She's been honing her thrifty ways since doing that silly thing people talk about when they ignore reason to follow their hearts and chose a career in the fulfilling but faltering music industry. She earns her beer money as a publicist and writer, and spends her spare time cooking, biking, and trying to decide if she's ready to get a cat.
