Jam On DUMBO’s Winter Concert Series
Bringing Super-Funky Entertainment to Superfine
BROOKLYN, NY – Super-funky, super-fun, Superfine. Join Jam On DUMBO for our 2012 Winter Concert Series, held at DUMBO’s iconic Superfine restaurant, 126 Front Street.
Tickets are $20 per family, available at the door (cash only). Doors open at 4 p.m. for all concerts, and the shows start at 4:30. Superfine will be providing a special kids’ menu before and after the concert, and there will be free face-painting and balloons.
Here’s the lineup of acts:
- Jan. 15, 2012 – The Rockdoves: “cool music for kids made with parents in mind”!
- Feb. 12, 2012 – Teen rockers Still Saffire will perform their second Jam On event, after bringing the house down at our Summer Music Festival!
- March 11, 2012 – Shine & the Moonbeams will bring some soul to Superfine with their “groove-heavy R&B musical extravaganza”!
This year’s concert series will raise money for Jam On DUMBO’s community outreach efforts – particularly Jam On DUMBO’s partnership with P.S. 307, a public elementary school that serves a public housing complex that sits on the edge of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Despite the school’s blighted surroundings, the principal is dedicated to expanding the students’ worldviews, especially to the arts.
That’s why Jam On DUMBO has committed to produce the school’s first Music Week this spring, which will bring a variety of musicians to the school to entertain and educate the students the week of May 21st-25th. Funds from our winter music series will help pay to bring Project Rhythm’s mobile recording studio to the school, so that students can write and record their own music over the course of the week.
Jam On DUMBO was founded in late 2010 by a group of local parents looking to bring more children’s music programming to cobblestone-lined DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Along with the Winter Concert Series and our community outreach projects, the organization produces a free Summer Family Music Festival each year.
