Spirit Family Reunion Playing Tonight + MP3 (Free Download)
About a week ago I saw Spirit Family Reunion for the first time. They went from being completely off my radar to one of my favorite Brooklyn bands after only hearing one or two songs live. Tonight they're playing Zebulon in Brooklyn with Morgan O'Kane, who they played with last time. Morgan O'Kane is more than worth coming out for alone, the dude is brilliant on a banjo, so coupled with Spirit Family Reunion I don't think you can miss this shindig.
If you're a fan of Forest City, O'Death, The Goddamn Rattlesnake or any other Brooklyn band rooted in folk, bluegrass, country or any other Americana roots music you'll love this band. They have a way of taking you straight out of Brooklyn and bringing you right to Appalachia. Seeing Spirit Family Reunion live is like going on a 30-minute vacation to place where life is simple and sweet.

The Joint Was Jumpin' (Morgan O'Kane Played Grand Billiards)
For the past few years I've been going to Absolute Power gym on Grand St. near the Grand L stop. Above the gym is a massive pool hall, which is great for pool but doesn't have much else to offer. Every time I walk by that place my promoter instincts kick in and I just say, "Damn, this place would be awesome for shows and parties."
Well it appears someone finally agrees with me because Grand Billiards is under new management and the shows and parties are under way. Last night was the first of many to come. They kicked it off with a free show featuring Morgan O'Kane and Spirit Family Reunion. On top of it being free they offered up $3 PBR and Beam combos and $4 wells!

If you're not familiar with Morgan O'Kane, he plays what could be described as Appalachian folk, maybe bluegrass, maybe country...call it what you will, it's super bad ass. It's the kind of music you can't help but stomp your feet too. You may have seen Morgan jamming on his banjo in Union Square at some point. He would have likely had a huge crowd around him. Typically he performs solo or maybe with one other person helping out.
Last night Morgan brought out a whole mob of pals. There were at least six people

Tonight: Morgan O'Kane @ Grand St. Billiards (Free Show)
Some of you already know this but I had knee surgery two weeks ago. As such, my nightlife activities have been limited to...well, nothing. I haven't been out since surgery simply because getting around hurts. Today I needed to get out of the house so I went for a "walk," which is limited to about 2 blocks from my apartment. As I was passing my gym a punky looking chick came out with a sign.
The sign said "Tonight Morgan O'Kane. Free Show, starts at 8pm. $3 PBR+whiskey special. $4 Wells." First off, fuck yeah cheap as shit booze! Second, fuck yeah rowdy bluegrass folk music! And finally...wait, what? The show was happening at the pool hall above the gym. I went inside to inquire and was told the pool hall is under new management and tonight was their first show. Yeah, buddy! I love when shows feature excellent talent, cheap booze and are within crutchin' distance. I will be there with bells on.
