The New Year is upon us and there’s nothing like picking up and dusting off that guitar, keyboard, or trumpet that has maybe laid in wait too long. Did you know that Red Hook has many opportunities to play with your neighbors and friends? Bene’s Record Shop, Jalopy Theater, Rocky Sullivan’s, and Sunny’s all offer jam sessions of varying genre and skill level to let loose and play. Pioneer Works even has a build your own theremin workshop this month — time to get space age. I’m not always one for New Year’s resolutions, but I am always a strong proponent of playing an instrument, no matter how long it’s been. So pick up that bass, or lift your voice and sing and I hope the best for everyone in 2019!
