Olivia K & The Parkers + Snack Cat + Dakota Jones

Olivia K & The Parkers is the brainchild of Olivia K, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and fearless leader. After playing such venues as Baby’s All Right and City Winery early on, OK&P exploded onto the scene at Sony Hall. Opening for Kermit Ruffins, the band turned a dumbstruck crowd into their congregation.

Now, OK&P are embarking on their next point of departure: The Sankofa Project! A meditative act of creation and closure, the OK&P crew intend to record Olivia’s entire catalogue of songs. Most of these were never put to track. In doing so, the band commits itself to the wisdom of the Ghanaian symbol, Sankofa. It reminds us: to move forward in these uncertain times, we must first confront the demons of the past. Within a month of announcing the project, the band blew past their crowdfunding goal.

When not in the studio, Olivia K & The Parkers are still electrifying venues across NYC and beyond. Their all-Brooklyn fusion of soul, jazz, gospel, and art rock speaks to expansive minds and righteous spirits everywhere.

If Vulfpeck, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Lake Street Dive, Jimmy Hendrix and Chaka Khan were to have a child and that child became a total party animal, then you might have something that resembled Snack Cat.

Snack Cat's members have played and/or recorded with Roberta Flack, John Mayer, Lenny Kravitz, Harry Connick Jr, The Zach Brown Band, Grace Potter, Brass Against, John Patitucci, Jersey Boys, Greg Allman, etc.

Dakota Jones is a New York based band that's been stomping around and making noise for nearly 8 years now. Featuring Tristan Carter-Jones on vocals, Scott Jet Kramp on bass, Steve Ross on the drums, and Eddy Marshall on the guitar, Dakota Jones have molded their sound into something at once commanding and vulnerable, spontaneous and deliberate, familiar and refreshing. The groove erupted in 2015, and they haven't looked back since, following that gritty funky sound wherever it would take them - through some of NYC's most respected venues, on tours exploring America's coasts, and well beyond. Press play on Dakota Jones, and follow the dripping honey through the sights and sounds that they're serving.
