The Deli will be sponsoring the 6th Annual LC Fest, organized by Local Correspondents, a Brooklyn-based independent music community. This year’s fest runs from Wednesday, June 6 through Saturday, June 9 at Bar4 in Park Slope (444 7th Avenue). The free four-night festival features twelve 20-minute sets each night, and performances are from 8 p.m. to midnight, with doors at 6 p.m.
Here’s a shortlist of recommended performances: Jodi Shaw (June 6), Matt Singer (June 7), Paul Basile of Great Elk (also June 7), Shannon Pelcher (June 8) and Bryan Dunn (also June 8) have all just recently released new albums, while The Bright Silence (June 9) opened for Spacehog in February. Plus, Heidi Sidelinker (also June 9) is most well-known for being in Lowry, but is playing a rare solo set at this free festival, as is Casey Shea (June 7), who almost always plays with a band and has been touring almost non-stop since his new album came out earlier this year.
A full schedule of performers is available here.
