Hippo Playground Summer Concert Series: Hopalong Andrew
About This Event
Hopalong Andrew headlines the Hippo Playground Summer Concert Series at Riverside Park; they have appeared in the series before and work at the edge of rock/pop songcraft, favoring direct melodies and clear rhythmic shapes that loosen into open-form passages. The bill also features Manhattan-born children's singer-songwriter Esther Crow (cofounder of garage-punk band The Electric Mess), Latin GRAMMY® nominee Flor Bromley, and Matt Heaton and Michael Napolitano, both who treat park sets as small labs for arrangement.
