Did you hear a country music jamboree Saturday night from an East 13th Street rooftop?
From the EVG inbox...
Did you happen to hear about (or hear yourself) the apparent country music jamboree that took place on a rooftop on 13th Street between 1st Avenue and Avenue A Saturday night around midnight?
It was all-out gawdawful, but I couldn't report it as I couldn't pinpoint the address. It was a LOUD amplified country singer who was really, really bad. People cheered after about the first 10 songs and then no more woo-ing, yet he continued. I felt bad for who ever though they were having a an awesome party. It really sucked! And it could be heard 2-3 blocks away.

Yeh, I heard it. Besides being intrusive and annoying that a neighbor was playing amplified music on the roof, the music was terrible. I was up on my roof on East 12th Street and the "performance" was wretchedly bad. We couldn't pinpoint where the party was, seemed like a roof midblock on the south side of E13 a bit closer to First Ave than to Ave A.
You reported on another rooftop concert on 13th street in 2013. Maybe it was the same place?

I wish I had. I love country music jamborees. Flatt and Scruggs rule.
Probably that shite that passes for "country" these days, with the singer over-drawling and mangling the melody like a retard? It's even worse than what passes for hip-hop these days.
Flatt and Scruggs were bluegrass.
I cast my vote for Dwight Yoakam.
East Village on a Saturday night with awesome live music.... how dare people throw a party!
give me a break....
Hey negative nelly, I bet the only reason you're complaining is because your invite was lost in the mail....it was a great party with an amazing group of people. The band was great and the energy was contagious! Only happy, positive people were there. No cranks allowed. It must be difficult to know so much about so little!

Scott, Bluegrass is still country.
Move to the country if you want peace and quiet East Village is not the place for you.
Giddy Up
Hahahahahahaaa, someone is complaining about a roof top party in the Summer on a Saturday night with an acoustic jam ENDING at midnight in the East Village... Too funny!!! An acoustic duo is hardly a Jamboree, after 10 songs of wooing, pretty much says all enjoyed the awesome show they put on. My annual rooftop bashes are always fun and open to all, except you ninny whiners! Next year, I'll have a metal band start at midnight. How do ya like them apples, you sour grape keyboard complainer
