Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club Boathouse

Gowanus

Pick up a banjo or just bring your ears to this grassroots boathouse where weekly folk, bluegrass, and jug band jams fill the air by the Gowanus Canal. Musicians of all stripes gather outside (or cozy up indoors when the weather turns) for acoustic collaborations that feel more front-porch than concert hall.
