For nearly 20 years, Drom has hosted artists from around the world and served as a gathering spot for the East Village community. Now, the owners say they need public support to ensure the venue stays here between Fifth Street and Sixth Street.
Here's the lineup for the two-night benefit:
Sunday, Dec. 21
6:30 p.m. — Zlatne Uste
7:30 p.m. — Fantcha
8:30 p.m. — Rana Farhan with Joe Abba's Funk Unit
Tickets here.
Monday, Dec. 22
7 p.m. — Arturo O'Farrill Quartet
8 p.m. — The Secret Trio
9 p.m. — New York Gypsy All-Stars with Jason Lindner.
Special Guest, Carlton J. Smith.
Tickets here.
Ticket tiers range from a $50 "Supporter of Drom" general admission option to a $1,000 "Champion of Drom" level that includes a one-year membership.
Other tiers include:
$250 — Friend of Drom: GA + one complimentary drink
$500 — Patron of Drom: GA + six-month membership
Organizers say that every ticket and donation will go toward sustaining the artists, staff and community that have kept Drom running since 2007.
Aside from the benefit shows, there's a GoFundMe here.
