Make Music NY solstice festival plays in “hot” Brooklyn music scene
Similar to the previous eight years, the summer solstice was marked with not only the expected increased temperatures and sunburns, but also with Make Music New York (MMNY), a music festival organized by a nonprofit that takes place during the summer and winter solstices in select cities worldwide — including Brooklyn.
While concerts of various sizes and genres took place in all corners of New York, Brooklyn sites such as Brooklyn Bridge Park, Fort Greene’s flea market, Brooklyn Sweet Spot and more hosted bands — some concerts even featuring local Brooklyn-based bands.
Brooklyn band Conrad Y Skordalia played at Brooklyn Flea as part of MMNY Saturday from 12 to 1 p.m. as fellow Brooklynites shopped and listened to their “folksy and Americana” sound.
