Come to Brooklyn!
Roustabout, a Maryland-based old-time country music string band, will appear in a New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club Folk Off-Broadway concert at Wunsch Hall, Polytechnic University, in Brooklyn, New York, on Friday evening, February 8, 2002. The concert starts at 8 PM sharp. General admission is $10. New York Pinewoods members pay only $9. Polytechnic students, faculty, and staff will be admitted free.
Roustabout has been around since 1984. The band currently comprises Jim Bollman, Lars Hanslin, Bruce Hutton, Chris Romaine, and Susan Trammell. Together they perform songs and tunes from the rural South from the 1920s and earlier. Roustabout's dedication to keeping old-time country music alive and well seems second only to the good times they have and inspire while making the music happen.
Wunsch Hall, the Polytechnic University student center, is located in Metrotech Center in downtown Brooklyn, NY, easily accessible by public transportation and close to the Marriott Hotel. The nearest subway stops are Lawrence Street on the M, N, and R lines, and Jay Street -- Borough Hall on the A, C, and F lines. Ample free on-street parking is available after 7 PM.
For further information, please call Evy Mayer after 11 AM at (718) 549-1344.
