Howdy y’all. 🤠 (Yes, a native New Yorker can say y’all.) TBH, I always wish I could rig these giveaways and just let myself win, but that feels like a bad look… unless you guys are cool with it. 🧐

Ok fineeeee, we’re giving away $100 to Aperitivo by Carta, so go enter to win before I change my mind.

JUST ANNOUNCED

• Red Hot tribute bands are a dime a dozen, but these guys? They’re the actual Red NOT Chili Peppers, and they’re taking over Brooklyn Bowl this Friday. Grab tickets or miss reminiscing to “Scar Tissue.”*

• Nothing beats the midweek slump like a little twang at Cafe Wha? with Lydia Loveless & Will Dailey. Get tickets to Wednesday’s Twangville Showcase for sharp lyrics, dive bar energy, and that gritty, rootsy sound we love.*
