Shows We Love :: Sarah Jones – New Year, NuYorkican!
Sarah Jones embodies the New York immigrant experience in each of her characters with empathy, sensitivity and of course, humor. She transforms from sweet, Jewish grandmother, Lorraine Levine to young, Brooklyn homeboy, Rashid, in a matter of seconds leaving you just enough time to process it all. This along with a penchant for detail in every one of their stories makes for a beautiful voyage to neighborhoods, lives and dreams. – Moni Pineda

Music We Love :: Baby Brother
I’ve always been a huge fan of supporting local bands, in hopes that I could one day say “I saw those guys when they played in some kid’s basement!” But recently, New York City’s local rock n’ roll scene has been getting pretty dull. A few days ago, my good friend introduced me to the Brooklyn-based rock n’ roll band, Baby Brother. Originating from all over the country, the band mixes good old fashioned rock n’roll and mixes it up with country, rhythm & blues, and a little bit of punk rock.
