Harlem Meer Performance Festival

As one of the last black string bands in the U.S. - currently based in the concrete hills of NYC - The Ebony Hillbillies keep an important legacy alive with a rootsy, homegrown style that many forget was a key element in the genesis of all the music cherished as uniquely American: jazz, blues, bluegrass, rockabilly, rock and roll and country.

Location: Charles A. Dana Discovery Center, inside the Park at 110th Street between Lenox and Fifth Avenues

Time: 2pm-4pm

This is a free event, no registration necessary.
