About the Brooklyn Music Festival venue

The Brooklyn Country Music Festival is held inside the Southpaw Bar & Club located at 125 Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn. Carved out of what was once a 99 Cent Discount store in the heart of Brooklyn, this club is now one of the area's hottest night spots. Inside, NYC car rental travelers will find more than 5,000 square feet of space, as well as a second bar area called DownSouth. Over the years, this unique concert location has earned quite the reputation. In fact, Time Out NY has chosen it as one of the top 5 music venues in all of New York City. Bands that have graced the stage at SouthPaw include Unicorns, KRs-One, Supergrass and TV on the Radio. NYC car rental travelers can learn more about the SouthPaw venue by logging onto the club's official website at www.spsounds.com.

The festival (in a nutshell)

The Brooklyn Country Music Festival is devoted to good-time dance band music. Surprisingly enough, the music reflects the life of NYC, which is always been a haven for country acts. Listen close and you'll hear the soulful lyrics harkening back to a more traditional era, where the sound of trains never drown out the honky-tonk music. The New Yorker described the festival best when it said "the scene takes traditional Nashville and electrified Bakersfield honky-tonk aesthetics as a guide but adds a gritty native pulse, influenced by rumbling subway trains, alternate side of the street parking, and the presence of a few million close neighbours." NYC car rental travelers are encouraged to meet a few of these neighbours by coming out the festival this year.

The cream of the crop play here

Each year, the Brooklyn Country Music Festival attracts some of the most talented local artists. Each year, festival organizer Alex Battles books only 100% home-grown talent. Past performers at the festival have include The Lonesome Prairie Dogs, The Defibulators, Andy Friedman & The Other Failures and Grizzly's Banjo Assault. NYC car rental travelers are invited to the Festival's kickoff Thursday night at Buttermilk, before diving into the boot-scooting fun head-on Saturday at Southpaw. And don't forget - each day features a contest for the best homemade pie, providing concert-goers with plenty of calming comfort food.
