Stayofftherocks Fest
About This Event
Stayofftherocks Fest at The Bowery Ballroom brings together Babe City, Cooper Moore, Mer Marcum, Mila Culpa and villagerrr in a city-club lineup. These artists share an emphasis on tight arrangements and direct delivery: Babe City’s economy of pacing; Cooper Moore and Mila Culpa’s short, rhythmic songs; Mer Marcum’s blend of songcraft and phrasing; and villagerrr’s slowcore restraint.
