13 years of music and community
Saturday, June 20th
10 am – 6 pm
On June 20th, Governors Island will transform into an open-air venue featuring over two hundred folk
bands, artists, and performing arts organizations coming together for one day of collaborative musical
performances, dancing and more.
At Porch Stomp, you’ll hear traditional folk music to old-time, blues, cajun, Irish, bluegrass and Americana
songs celebrated through the synergistic playing of singers and musicians wielding fiddles, banjos,
mandolins, guitars and accordions.
All are welcome to join in the event, which is just a quick ferry ride from lower Manhattan or Brooklyn.
Whether you’re there to sing or play along or simply explore, there’s something for everyone as all parts
of Governors island, from Nolan Park, Colonels Row, and Liggett Terrace, will host activities such as
old-time, bluegrass, and Irish music jams, contra and square dances and much more.
Each “stage” or porch is curated and produced by an arts organization or local venue that supports traditional arts, and will represent a specific folk community in New York City.
Beer and cider will be available for purchase at Threes Brewing, and food and other beverages will be
available for purchase courtesy of Little Eva’s, both located in Liggett Terrace. 2026 partners include Sunny’s Bar, The Jalopy Theater and School of Music, Brooklyn Contra, Cowgirl Seahorse, The Folk
Music Society of New York, Peoples’ Voice Cafe, and others.

Read All The Books! New YouTube video today! It’s “Thank You Charlotte Bronte,” live, at The Next Chapter, a vast, beautiful bookstore and art space. What a perfect place (and audience) for this song.
Women authors have always struggled to be accepted objectively, for this reason, and others far more oppressive in the past, they have used pen names, often male. Still today many use pen names or initials in the hopes of being judged fairly. Why should marketing and sexism detract from precious books and thought? Here is to the excellent authors mentioned, those that could not fit in the song, and to books themselves. Read all the books!
Thank you again to Alana Hollander, Dark Donovan, Zach, and everyone at The Next Chapter!
You can find the next live shows here, or enjoy a show from home, twice a week on Twitch.
The Repressions are coming to the Bookstore! Tonight, Friday January 2nd at 7pm, with a fine lineup of indie rock talent! The Next Chapter is a renowned bookshop and art space in Long Island, New York. Join The Repressions with Alana Hollander and Dark Donovan! No cover, all ages… Music and books! What a great way to begin the year!
