Read moreThis past Saturday, in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, I can attest in fact that Brooklyn Came Alive. Allow me to explain, this year for the 4th year in a row Live For Live Music hosted this amazing single day event which sure felt a ton like Jam Cruise or New Orleans Jazz Fest. I say that because within about 8 square blocks in Williamsburg, musicians from the highest echelon of the jam scene got together, in formations they are not known to play in; like one-off supergroups, brand new band debuts and epic tribute sets. The three venues in Williamsburg chosen this year were Rough Trade, Music Hall of Williamsburg and Brooklyn Bowl. I can personally attest that the best part of the Brooklyn music scene revealed itself to me at each one of these unique venues over the 12-hour period I wandered around Williamsburg chasing the groove.

The week Fangeist caught up with the founder of Brooklyn Comes Alive. This year the vibes is something akin to what happens late night at Jazz Fest in New Orleans–except this happens in Brooklyn for one memorable evening. Brooklyn Comes Alive will return to Williamsburg on Saturday to serve NYC a truly unique live music experience.
Hey Kunj, so great to chat with you about Brooklyn Comes Alive. Thank you so much for sitting down with us. I can’t wait for this year’s iteration of Brooklyn Comes Alive. I would love people to hear a bit about what you’re up to?
