Brooklyn Comes Alive announces a highly-anticipated return for 2020, with the latest installment moving to a new home and taking place on a new date. Brooklyn Comes Alive returns Saturday, March 21st, 2020 at Bushwick's multi-stage venue, Avant Gardner.
With two stages in one facility and a greatly increased capacity, Brooklyn Comes Alive will grow into a new format while still delivering the incredible musicianship, special collaborations, and unique musical experiences for which it is known. On Saturday, March 21st, Avant Gardner will transform into an indoor music festival for a one-day music marathon inspired largely by the vibrant musical communities of New Orleans and Brooklyn. Instead of walking outdoors between venues, attendees can conveniently move between Avant Gardner's two indoor stages-the Great Hall and Kings Hall-eliminating the hassle of re-entry from the experience. Past editions of Brooklyn Comes Alive have featured an exciting mix of musical fireworks including tributes to the Allman Brothers Band, Steely Dan, Prince, Herbie Hancock, J Dilla, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jamiroquai, and more; unique new combo groups like Breaking Biscuits (The Disco Biscuits and Break Science) and the All Brothers Band (Oteil Burbridge, Kofi Burbridge, Neal Evans, and Alan Evans); once-in-a-lifetime, all-star collabs such as Cory Henry, Scott Metzger, Skerik, Nikki Glaspie, and MonoNeon; the debuts of projects such as Matador! Soul Sounds and Rooster Conspiracy (Eric Krasno, Reed Mathis, Todd Stoops, and Jay Lane); and special sets by legendary artists such as John Scofield and Jon Cleary.Brooklyn Comes Alive has announced its return in 2020!
