Brandon Lopez has also curated a second band for each night, featuring the music of highly respected artists Jessica Pavone, Michael Foster and Darius Jones.

SHIFT | 411 Kent
Shift is a new(ish) series for creative and experimental music in the heart of Williamsburg. It has quickly built a reputation for boundary-pushing excellence, diverse curation, great sound, and adventurous audiences. Shift deftly taps the creativity that NY has to offer and the intimate space draws in performers from Mumbai to Buenos Aires. Presenting partnerships have included The Stone, Experimental Intermedia, and Arts for Arts. Steve Smith (The New York Times, The New Yorker) describes Shift as "a burgeoning hub of arts activity.
