A Musical Education in Brooklyn
Dreamy folk duo Christy + Emily (guitarist Christy Edwards and pianist Emily Manzo) bring their signature guazy sound to ISSUE with a bunch of friends: the Brooklyn-based viBe SongMakers (whom Chirsty + Emily mentor), DJ Marcelle/Another Nice Mess turntable solo and Brooklyn indie noise rockers Pterodactyl.
The viBe SongMakers is an advanced music/song creation program that accepts 4-6 underserved Brooklyn teenagers every year and gives them the tools they need to be tomorrow’s artistic and cultural leaders and revolutionaries. Writing, recording, and performing orginal songs with professional musicians helps empower these girls to communicate through music. Instruction in piano, songwriting, drum machine, music theory, and digital production helps the girls make the music; an introduction to business and entrepreneurial skills helps the girls market and distribute their CDs; then, the girls learn basic video and editing skills and create their own music videos.
