A Summer Solstice Celebration "A soundtrack to a lost soul's lonely stroll down a seedy New Orleans street, there lulled into a derelict brothel by Lipnik's eerie multi-octave wail and Spookarama's brand of blues." Avant-siren chanteuse Carol Lipnik with her wildly eclectic accompanist, the acclaimed keyboardist Dred Scott, conjure an authentic Coney Island Parlor Punk music that is by turns phantasmagorical, carnivalesque, gleefully macabre, and irresistibly compelling. Lipnik’s dramatic 4-octave voice coupled with her poetic, genre-defying songs (many from the point of view of lovelorn beasts and freaks like The Creature From The Black Lagoon and The Werewolf) are thrilling, chilling and heartbreaking.  "...Carol Lipnik's Spookarama evokes a Coney Island of the ear, full of ghostly carnivalesque moments..." With projections of vintage Coney Island footage by Peter Cramer!!
This concert is presented as part of the annual city-wide celebration of music, Make Music NYC. +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
