Rooted in the raw energy of NYC punk with a heavy dose of ‘90s alternative rock, Christina’s music is an ode to queerness, resistance, and identity. A force on electric guitar and vocals, she also provides a range of instrumentation on her recordings.
August 27 – Chanese Elife (Before Les Blank Shorts):

Luke Havranek, a Yonkers native, has been performing music for the better part of two decades in and around the Westchester area. His musical resume includes a variety of genres including punk, ska, reggae, blues, hip-hop, country, and funk bands. Most recently, Luke has returned to a more organic project: Luke Havranek’s Traveling Medicine Show. In this newest act, he has revived the concept of the one-man band in a way that has not quite been done before. Havranek mixes the multiple genres he has polished throughout the years effortlessly into a set that has something for everyone.
