SEEING VOICES

Singer/songwriter Suzanne Hockstein and guitarist Richard Hockstein have been writing and playing music in bars and clubs around NYC for many years - performing in CBGB's, The Cat Club, The Bitter End, Kenny's Castaways, The Continental, The C Note, Don Hill's and countless others . They are also regular performers at An Beal Bocht Cafe in Riverdale. 

The band also includes Steve Giordano on bass and Joe Guzzardo on drums.

Their music has been described as blues tinged psychedelic rock or even Blondie meets the Yardbirds. Suzanne has a strong melodic voice, an engaging stage presence and a deep often introspective lyrical sensibility. Richard wears his blues/rock influences squarely on his sleeve.

Check out their performance at one of our outdoor festivals

on Johnson Avenue

Bronx Fine Artists Will Also Be There Lauren Camara is a professional graphic designer for the past 25 years. Lauren first became interested in paper art when she found herself saving the books of paper swatches she received from printing companies. She dreamed of somehow incorporating them into artwork. Lauren is inspired by her family that spans a variety of cultures and religions as well as nature, music and New York City. LaurenCamara.com

Ira Merritt is a Bronx resident for 71 years. He is retired from teaching photography for 35 years, the last 26 at the High School of Art & Design in Manhattan. He has been a recipient of six individual artist awards in photography from the Bronx Council on the Arts and has received grants for photography projects including documenting the residents of the Amalgamated Cooperative (the oldest housing co-op in the nation) during their 85th anniversary year. As a mixed media artist Ira Merritt’s images begin with the photographic process and then evolve through assemblage, montage, collage, and drawing. @Ira_Merritt

The arts are thriving again in our community -- hope to see you. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
