The 9th semi annual Brooklyn Americana Music Festival (BKAMF) continues to present a four day free live music festival twice a year in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Dumbo Archway, and pioneer artist owned establishments along the waterfront in Dumbo and Red Hook. Long time festival partner, Superfine host tonights annual fundraiser.
It all began over twenty years ago, at festival founder Jan Bell's little red hen music stages in Dumbo: Old horse and wagon loading docks, abandoned warehouses, and roof tops with a view down by the riverside. Now these once derelict and 'undesirable' neighborhoods are destination tourist and Instagram gold.
Brooklyn Americana Music continues to support emerging, and now established artists who shaped the vibrant music scene, back when yellow cabs did not like to drive you to Dumbo or Red Hook, at all.
Catch these brilliant artists now, before they play Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Grand Ole Opry, and Late Night TV.

“Maybe growing up in Nottinghamshire is what sets Jan Bell apart from the run of local lady folkies. Or maybe its the slide guitars, harmonicas, mandolins and banjos. Dark, old timey spareness......gorgeous ” - Chuck Eddy, The Village Voice
“Bell's music isn't strictly bluegrass, but her reworking of old-time country and jug-band blues is remarkably nuanced. It embodies the wide-open spirit of what has become an antic, hybrid genre.” - Edd Hurt, The Nashville Scene
