Brooklyn’s Music Fair Jams in Bushwick

Bushwick rocked last night with Brooklyn’s Music Fair, riffing NYC’s spring at a Troutman lot. Band Lena Carter played funk as 300 grooved, a $10 ticket fest of strings. It’s borough tunes—pure BK vibe, amps hot. A kid banged a drum; a pro sang loud. ‘Brooklyn plays—this is it,’ Carter says, tuning pegs. The stalls turned stage.

The fair’s fresh—March 23’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing curbs by 6 p.m. Carter’s a Williamsburg picker; last night’s crowd hit max—chords flew. A latecomer nabbed a spot; lights flashed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one day—music ruled. #BKMusicFair trended; Queens wants a riff.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging sound. Trash piled—swept slow; vibes held. A rival’s pitching a Greenpoint jam, splitting amps. Still, 400 stayed—tunes reigned. Bushwick’s never jammed so bold.

Carter’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a park if spring bites. ‘NYC’s beat—this drives it,’ she says, packing gear. The fair’s a Brooklyn win—grit meets groove. It’s a music rush; catch the next. Bring a chair—chords call.
