Fairway is the product of Mike Gentils and T.J. Rowe, high school friends who grew up playing punk rock together. Now semi-adults, the two have moved on to form Fairway, a more stripped down, but no less energetic, acoustic rock band. Often joined by Carolyn LoPinto on keys, the band has been performing in the 5 boroughs for the past year and will soon begin recording their debut EP. Come hang out and enjoy some high-energy/low-pretension rock!

My music reflects the experiences in life I’ve had this far as well as my quest for the fundamental truth in this world. I have been writing and playing out as much as possible, meeting great people along the way. I hope listening to my music will make you want to think, explore yourself and everything around you.

11pm- Damian Quiñones
Genre: Rock and Roll
For fans of: Funkadelic, WAR, Os Mutantes, Bood, Sweat, and Tears, Willie Colon, Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Akin to a mix tape made from his uncle’s old vinyl collection, Damian Quiñones is sonically funky, expansive and colorful. Quiñones songwriting is a heady stew of 60’s rock and roll, nuyorican funk, with a nice helping of tropicalia, and Afro-Caribbean sounds to boot. For this performance, Quiñones will be performing solo on acoustic guitar and electric piano.
“Damian Quiñones y Su Conjunto’s new album Gumball Ma-Jumbo - streaming in its entirety online - is a masterpiece of tunesmithing, an intricate mix of oldschool late 60s style psychedelic soul, rock and pop spiced with salsa, luscious horn charts, bubbling keys and nasty guitars.”-Lucid Culture
