Kent Ave Block Party, Brazil Summerfest, The Big Quiet – What’s Happening, Greenpoint? (8/05–8/11)

[sponsored] Mark Kraus Record Release Show
Saturday, Pete’s Candy Store, 8pm, FREE
Record release show for Greenpoint-based singer/songwriter Mark Kraus’s new album The Story of Everything, an immediate, cinematic, and at times heartbreaking solo debut that’s both deeply personal and universal. It’s a record about epochs of time: youth in revolt, a life long love story, the start and end of everything. More info
