October 13 at 9pm +1
LunÀtico · Stuyvesant Heights • $10
A guitar, a toy piano, and a milk frother walk into a Bed-Stuy bar: MY TRIO turns iPads and synths into hypnotic, polyrhythmic soundscapes at this snug neighborhood haunt.
October 13 at 8pm
Littlefield · Gowanus
Your favorite songs get the essay treatment, then the acoustic treatment. Writers like Rax King and Luke O'Neil read odes to beloved tunes, then musicians like Ted Leo cover them live.
October 13 at 6:30pm
Cafe Ornithology · Bushwick • $$
A harmonica fronting a jazz quartet is a rare treat, and Yotam Ben-Or makes it sing. Catch his four-piece in this cozy Bushwick listening room, where the music pulls you in close.
October 13 at 8pm +17
Bar Bayeux · Prospect Lefferts Gardens • $$
Stumble into a dimly lit pocket of Brooklyn where amateurs trade solos with serious jazz cats. Rich Perry, Ugonna Okegwo, and Diego Voglino host the stage, but anyone with chops can jump in.
October 13 at 7:30pm
Secret Pour · Bedford-Stuyvesant • $10-$15
Bushwick underground hip-hop mainstay Jb Aka Dirty Moses returns to a New York stage for the first time in 13 years. His Proof of Life Tour brings a deep lineup of local MCs.
October 13 at 8pm
Brooklyn Bowl · Williamsburg
Knox brings his heart-on-sleeve pop-rock back to NYC after a year away, with Emi Grace opening. The twist: it's at Brooklyn Bowl, so you can knock down pins between songs.
Browse Brooklyn neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
