Sing into Spring January 11, 2009

Bring your voice, an instrument, friends, family, and good cheer for an evening of informal participatory music. During the short days and long nights of winter, let’s drive away the darkness – the suggested theme is songs for the renewal of life, but all songs or tunes are welcome. You can listen or take a turn singing, leading a song, or playing a tune. You can sing along on the chorus or join in on a group song, request a song, or just relax over Freddy’s choice selection of drinks including Guinness and Bass on tap. Freddy’s does not sell food, but you are welcome to bring your own.

The Pub Night will start at 7 PM at Freddy’s Back Room, 485 Dean Street, at Sixth Avenue, in Brooklyn. It is one block east of Flatbush Avenue, near the Bergen Street station of the #2 and 3 subway trains, the Atlantic Avenue station of the 4, 5, B, and Q, and the Pacific Street station of the D, M, N, and R. By car drive down Flatbush Avenue to Sixth Avenue and one block East to Dean Street. Parking is available on Sunday nights. There is no admission fee or minimum. Further information: 718-429-3437
