Northside Festival
Jun 11th & 12th 2016
About the festival
At Northside there’s a stage available for artists and thought-leaders at all different points in their creative life-cycle. What started as a pipedream in 2009 by booking hundreds of emerging bands we loved has grown into an annual adventure of discovery that now includes innovators, creators and filmmakers.
Now in its eighth year, Northside is a discovery festival founded by Northside Media Group, taking place in North Brooklyn. Programming is broken into three major components over the course of a week: Music, Innovation and Content.

Northside Festival: Bing & Ruth
June 12, 2016 - 8:30pm Led by composer and pianist David Moore, Brooklyn instrumental collective Bing & Ruth are a delicate yet formidable melodic force. Combining horns, strings, piano, wordless vocals, and manipulated tape loops, the band builds from still moments to grand cathartic swells. Their latest album, 2014's critically acclaimed Tomorrow Was the Golden Age, took the organic sounds of live performance in trippier directions, playing with tape delay to achieve a deep well of shimmering sound.
