Sean McVerry, Singer / Songwriter / Composer

This dude on the right did not seem to care that we were doing a photoshoot one bit.

“The Hoover Dam has always been great (to perform for) because you’re playing to an audience of people that really care about what you’re doing and what you’re making; It’s fun to have that kind of energetic audience behind you because it really drives (your performance).”

Place of Residence: BedStuy

Location of Shoot: Outside Unnameable Books, Vanderbilt Ave and Bergen St.

Sean McVerry will be performing at The Hoover Dam Collective Presents FallOut on Saturday, September 27th at 8pm in Prospect Heights. More info here.

Theo Boguszewski, Founder of the Hoover Dam Collective

“I think the the HDC is a great example of young people coming together to create their own opportunities in a difficult and often isolating city. I love that the HDC is centered around community- we give artists the opportunity to network and form relationships with other artists.”

This guy came up to us and wanted to be in the picture too.

“I have been living the neighborhood for over fours years and have watched it change greatly. I am excited to be part of a growing arts community and I want to share the HDC with the neighborhood and encourage locals to get involved.”

Neighborhood of Residence: Crown Heights!

HDC Presents FALLOUT

September 27th, 8pm.

Oh, the brisk air! The rattle of Cicadas in the late summer dusk! The pumpkin spice lattes! Yes, oh yes, FALL IS fucking HERE! It’s New York City’s most pleasant (read most tolerable) season, and the Hoover Dam Collective is embracing it with open arms. Enter HDC’s FallOut, an art extravaganza in a unique loft space located in Prospect Heights. Incredible music acts? We got it. Class act dance companies? Wouldn’t do without them! Interactive pop up performances? Why not? Secret spacious venue with tons of character? Yes! Booze? DRINK UP!

(I sincerely hope there will be a washboard at FallOut)

The evening is headlined by Nat Osborn Band and ChristinaNoel and the Creature.

“The Nat Osborn Band melds, mashes, and stirs up styles like a chef mixing spices: a dash of funk here, a dollop of big band there, a sprinkling of reggae all around a solid base of smart, catchy songwriting. The result: a unique and original sound all its own.”

We did a profile on Nat as a blog feature, which you can read here

“ChristinaNoel & The Creature is a Brooklyn based dance company that focuses on creating a hybrid performance medium utilizing the dancers’ voices, bodies, and drawing from their perspectives. “

Keep an eye out for more info about ChristinaNoel and the Creature on our blog!

No Strings Attached

Despite the anti-valentine title, we assure you there will be plenty of love flowing at our upcoming show. We’ll be at Spike Hill in Williamsburg for the first time this winter. Our shows at Spike Hill can get pretty busy and the space is narrow, so be sure to come early to get a good spot!
