The Music of Now! is a multi-night festival happening at East Village Club Nublu now through Friday, April 17. It’s curated by Nublu founder İlhan Erşahin who says, “We’re not trying to present finished products. It’s about what happens when people play together in the moment.”
The lineup includes Sun Ra Arkestra (4/10), Tyler Mitchell and the Dancing Shadows ft the Arkestra’s Marshall Allen & more (4/12), Sex Mob (4/14) who just backed Laurie Anderson at Big Ears, Isaiah Collier (4/16), and more. Tickets are on sale and the schedule is below.
