Celebrate Brooklyn is back, baby! After moving to an exclusively online format last year, Celebrate Brooklyn! is back and the Bandshell in Prospect Park with a full line up of artists ready to blow the roof off of the thing. One of these artists is KAMAUU. KAMAUU's music is packed with electrifying and rambunctious melodies, while at the same time filling his lyrics with versatility and substance. Find out why he and MacKenzie go to talking about Muhammad Ali and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

You can RSVP for KAMAUU's performance on July 31st, plus check out the rest of the Celebrate Brooklyn line up at:

See you there!

Meet Damon Davis, a post-disciplinary artist from St. Louis. A prolific creator, Davis has a solo show open at Detroit MOCA right now titled Filling in the Cracks. Textured and profound, Cracks is an exploration of grief where Davis has cast concrete busts of himself, broken them open and filled the vacant space with beauty.

Mackenzie and Davis talk about grief, masculinity and the role we play in the structures that bind us. Also quartz watches.
