Off The Deep End

On a Saturday night a series of shadowy figures carrying bulky packages wander sporadically in to a secluded Red Hook bar down on the water front. They are not mafia goons or foreign agents; they are some of Brooklyn's finest bluegrass musicians here for an impromptu jam session. They set up in the back room; sometimes a handful and sometimes a crowd, they play into the wee hours of the morning. Come for the music and stay for the home made spiced cider mixed with whiskey.
