Staten Island’s Music Night Jams in St. George

St. George strummed last night with Staten Island’s Music Night, riffing NYC’s spring near the ferry. Guitarist Lena Carter played blues as 200 grooved, a $10 ticket bash of strings. It’s borough tunes—pure SI vibe, amps hot. A kid tapped a beat; a pro sang along. ‘Staten plays—this is it,’ Carter says, tuning pegs. The lot turned stage.

The night’s fresh—March 25’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing seats by 7 p.m. Carter’s a Tottenville picker; last night’s crowd hit max—chords rang. A latecomer nabbed a spot; lights flashed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one night—music ruled. #SIMusicNight trended; Bronx wants a riff.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a grump, dodging sound. Amp buzzed—fixed quick; vibes held. A rival’s pitching a Midland jam, splitting strings. Still, 300 stayed—tunes reigned. St. George’s never jammed so bold.

Carter’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a pier if spring bites. ‘NYC’s soul—this lifts it,’ she says, packing gear. The night’s a Staten win—grit meets groove. It’s a music rush; catch the next. Bring a chair—chords call.
