Touring with Bonham resulted in meeting Cheap Trick and playing with them on stage on several occasions in 2017 and '22. In 2021 Gary performed live and in the recording studio with Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. He plays on the track "Frustrated" on Joan's latest, all acoustic album "Change Up". This past December he played with Johnny Mac and the Faithful on a 15 date tour of the UK as opening act for Rod Stewart. Gary was the musical director and co-producer of the very successful Lou Reed Birthday celebration Nights at Bowery Electric in NYC 2018-2020. Lou was a friend and a mentor to him during a 10 year working relationship. Gary was in Lou Reed's road crew as a guitar tech from 2002-2012. Gary has also had several of his original compositions recorded by Warrior Soul front man Kory Clarke on his 3 solo albums. He wrote the title track to 2003's Opium Hotel .
- 3:15PM Tower + Star Tower + Star is a lush, feely alt pop rock band! They have female vocals plus guitar & bass with original finessed electronic beats. Their songs mesh poetry & melodies. Tower + Star artists are Tanz Donovan on vocals, Paul Alexandre Meurens on guitar (and sometimes sax or EWI) & Tony Maimone on bass (and sometimes tzouras). All current tracks are engineered and produced at Studio G, Brooklyn.
- 4PM Lost Decades Formed just before the pandemic, Lost Decades is a Brooklyn-based indie/post-punk quartet anchored by two lead singers with songs that recall melancholy, angst, and attempts to find a little light in the midst of too many strange nights. The group's debut album, The Precipice of Now (2021), saw radio play around the US and landed them in print as one of Relix's "Artists You Need to Know" with the likes of Squirrel Flower and Chapel Hart. In the wake of their first shows in 2022 and a sold-out live vinyl pressing in April, Lost Decades is now working on a follow-up album in Greenpoint.
Seating is first come, first served.
