Hippo Playground Summer Concert Series: Hopalong Andrew
About This Event
As part of the Hippo Playground Summer Concert Series at Riverside Park, Esther Crow—a Manhattan-born, award-winning children's singer-songwriter and cofounder of garage-punk band The Electric Mess—and Michael Napolitano—a New York–based artist working between rock/pop songcraft and freer, open-form material—share the bill. Crow's background as a teacher and children's artist and Napolitano's live-focused practice suggest a program that foregrounds direct songcraft alongside moments where structure is allowed to drift.
