John Craigie's concerts are half folk show, half stand-up set, with long, funny stories that wander before landing on a heartfelt song. He built his audience the old-fashioned way, on the road, and his fans treat his shows like reunions. If you love Americana with a sense of humor, this is a warm Saturday night in Brooklyn.

What to expect

An intimate acoustic-leaning headline set in a mid-size room with a balcony, lots of storytelling between songs and an attentive, sing-along crowd.
