Roots in the Raw is back!

Hey folks. I'm super stoked to announce that our Wed. night music series, "Roots in the Raw" is back! What is this? It's a night where I have hand selected some friends/musicians to host an intimate evening of music & create it into something original & different each time. Every Wed. of the month will be a different theme & vibe all together. Your host for these events will be, Chris Q. Murphy, Gypsy George, Matt Frye & Rabbi Darkside all bringing their own unique flavor to the table on alternating weeks. Starting out this Wed. Feb. 29th, Rabbi D. will host an amazing group that includes a little soul, A little funk & a whole lotta hip-hop! If you've never been to a night hosted by Rabbi YOU NEED TO BE HERE! It's a great time for all ages for sure.7-9pm!

Also be sure & check out the artist for this Friday night. A Roots favorite, Scott Dennis will open the night at 8pm with some good ol' country music followed by Minneapolis singer/songwriter, Dustin Lee.

As always...byob & wine. Tips are much appreciated! See ya real soon.

Ladies in the lead...

This Friday, Feb. 24th we have an amazing line up of musicianship! Amelia Robinson will be opening the night with her quirky & well crafted melodies starting at 8pm sharp! closing out the night we have some out of towners traveling through, The Great Afternoon, lead by Christina Ward. Come hear these amazing ladies & their bands as they share the stage for a great night of entertainment for the whole community. As always, byob & wine. (Sugg. tip/corkage fee if so.)

On the music menu this weekend...

...We have something brand new for starters, something familiar for the main course & something exotic for dessert.  Maybe that's a bit of a stretch & confusing? How about this....starting at 7pm on Friday, come sample the delicious sounds of a new resident of Park Slope, miss Caroline Rose. Then stick around & get your fill of the soulful Adrian Coleman, a long time patron & friend of Roots Cafe. As if that's not enough, be sure & save room for the sweet melodies of Hugh Trimble...not really exotic...but he is touring & not a Brooklyn resident so...I Said it was a stretch! Hope to see you all there. By the way...we will be serving real food throughout the night.

Art, music & love in the air...

 That's right folks... That special day is upon us to celebrate all that is, "LOVE." Here at Roots we especially love our community & we want to share that with you through a special night of music, tonight, Fri. Feb. 10th. Starting at 8pm we will have some hand picked singers & musicians of this fine neighborhood assembled together to perform some of the greatest love songs of old & new. The entire night will be hosted by Gypsy George & the  barista boys of Roots.

  Come with the one you love...or come alone & who knows...maybe you'll find someone to love. Either way...just get here! As always byob & wine.

Thank you for being a friend...

Hello everyone! How many of you started singing the Golden Girls theme song when you read the header...ok, just me? Anyway, I wanted to say a quick thanks to you as a community for your continued support with the cafe. Without you this wouldn't be possible...in fact it'd be pointless...& way less fun. I love this neighborhood & am proud to serve you daily.
I mean seriously,... whats better than having your friends stop by & hang out with you at work? Well...maybe hanging outside of work...but it's still pretty awesome anyway. So on that note, let's all hang together tonight for some live music & good times. As always byob & wine. (If you do...please buy a little something or leave a tip of sorts to help out) I'll be making my sandwiches & coffee throughout the night so come hungry!
 My good buddy Chris Q. Murphy will be hosting the night & playing his own solo set followed by, "For Everst" Music starts up at 8pm sharp!

Back to the Brooklyn "grind"...

 Hey there folks. After a much needed vacation to sweet home Alabama I'm back in Brooklyn and ready to serve you all again at Roots! While I was away my wonderful team kept things going as usual and I can't thank them enough for their loyalty and hard work.
 When my wife and I landed in Birmingham, Al Friday it was a warm 65 degrees followed by temperatures in the 60's and 70's for the next few days. Minus the tornado threat on Saturday I'd have to say this was one of the best trips back home to date.

 Just a quick heads up about this weekend. We have our usual Friday night music starting at 8pm with Kate Miller followed by Zachary Boyce. As always this is a free show with byob  and wine privileges.  We have a few PBRs on hand for "FREE" but we always appreciate a little tip for the gesture.
