Gallery Hours: Wednesday - Sunday 11 – 6, Monday and Tuesday by appointment
Christopher Henry Gallery proudly presents Knitting is for Pus**** , its first solo show of Polish-born New York-based artist Olek. Hundreds of miles of crocheted, weaved, and often recycled materials, forms, and spaces are the fabric from which the wild and occasionally functional structures of Olek's fantasylands are born.

Campfire Extravaganza/Whooping Crane/Julian Saporiti/Flearoy - No Cover/21+
Friday, October 22 at 8:00pm - October 23 at 12:30am
Location Hank's Saloon
46 3rd Avenue
Brooklyn, NY
There will be no cover charge to see these fantastic four groups, about whom you can read below. One is a brand spankin' new enormous Country/Bluegrass group, the second a Brooklyn-based psychedelic riff rock self-styled "gr...oop soup", the third an indie legend from Nashville playing for the first time in a long time without his full band, and the fourth, simply one of the funkiest experiences you will ever have in your life.
See you all there on the 22nd at 8:00!
The Campfire Extravaganza:
A brand new group whose premiere will be at Hank's. A crowd of fiddles, banjos, mandolins, and much more creates the group's dense bluegrass sound.
Whooping Crane:
A Brooklyn quartet that has been whooping up a raucous racket of riff rock since 2008 and boasts an impressive resumé; Guitarist/vocalist Michael "Big Sir the Conductor" Lo has recorded and/or toured with artists from The Phenomenal Handclap Band to Latin soul legend Joe Bataan to garage and punk luminaries such as Richard Lloyd, while percussionist/flute player/guitarist Davey “the Handler” Scott was an alumni of rapper Guru’s live and recording unit. Along with drummer Bushwick Ronnie Seward and bassist Doug Mayer, they combine heavy blues-based guitar tones, funky rhythms and a good dose of hypnotic psychedelic flourishes, topped off with cowbells, fuzz bass, simple-but-anthemic choruses and an overall jivey, blissed-out, good-time spirit.
