Rafe Stepto at Branded Saloon

Rafe Stepto

Rafe Stepto is a singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist with a smokey voice that brings to mind Al Green. He will be playing a solo set on guitar and piano Thursday, October 3 from 8:30-9:15 at Branded Saloon in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.

Stepto will sing original songs from his current project “Kiss Attack”, which employs a wide variety of jazz, funk, and even Brazilian chord changes along with 21st century production techniques and can loosely be described as “global soul.”

“Change” is a socially critical song about belief. Stepto says,”Religion is like McDonald’s. If you didn’t have it then, you’re not gonna.”

Though Stepto has recorded “Kiss Attack” as a solo venture, he seeks collaboration from the Brooklyn musical community. With little online presence, Stepto’s huge talent is a hidden gem well worth discovering.

Hear him yourself at Branded Saloon. 603 Vanderbilt Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

At ‘A Few of Each,’ Gowanus artists capture a neighborhood in flux

In some cultures, there’s a belief that death comes not when your heart stops beating, but when you’re forgotten. To remember something is to keep it alive, even if only in your heart. That idea is the key to A Few of Each, the collection of cityscape art currently on display at Gowanus Wine Studio on 3rd Avenue. The exhibition

Vincent Coppola on ‘Gowanus Crossing’

I first met Vincent Coppola in 1961 when we were high school freshmen at St. Augustine High School on Park Place in the Slope. After a career in journalism and some notable books, he’s now ensconced in Savannah, a city which, like Vinny, acknowledges the presence of ghosts. The interview has been edited to leave out the boring bits. Full

People of Red Hook: August 2026

This is New York City, but today nobody’s rushing. People are lollygagging down the streets while the 95-degree heat penetrates their bones. So it’s not too hard to get them to stop and talk to me about their relationships with their phones—the very phones that most of them are staring into before our conversations begin.   Christopher Loyd: I’m trying to
