SummerStage Announces Gilligan Moss, Free Show At Rockaway Beach On 8/17

City Parks Foundation's SummerStage has announced that Gilligan Moss will be performing on Friday, August 17 at Rockaway Beach on the 94th Street Plaza off of Shorefront Parkway. This free show will take place from 6 to 9 PM, thanks to generous support from NYC Parks. For more information on all upcoming City Parks Foundation SummerStage shows, please visit here!

Chicago dance-pop duo Gilligan Moss, comprised of childhood friends Evan and Ben, has a distinct style that fills the cracks between several genres -- they are drawn to strange melodies, polyrhythmic percussion, and driving basslines. The project began when Evan released solo music to Soundcloud and caught a buzz with his single "Choreography" and a remix of Glass Animals' "Gooey". He asked Ben to join him on the road in support of Glass Animals in late 2015, thus setting the stage for the duo to begin writing and producing together. Their EP What Happened is due out on August 23rd.

City Parks Foundation's SummerStage is New York City's largest free outdoor performing arts festival, bringing more than 100 performances to Central Park and 17 neighborhood parks throughout the five boroughs. This year's festival, presented by Capital One, will showcase over 200 unique artists hailing from New York City and around the globe, performing shows across a diversity of genres and disciplines, including indie-rock, hip-hop, Latin, jazz, R&B, salsa, opera, contemporary dance, and spoken word.
