Sharon Jones Gig Timed for Brooklyn Flea Opening Day

BLJ-Postcard2.jpgOver on the Brooklyn Flea Blog today, we announced an exciting tie-in for the opening day of the market. At 2 p.m. on April 6, Sharon Jones will be performing at the historic Brooklyn Masonic Temple—located directly across Lafayette Ave. from the market—as part of the Flea’s grand opening! The show has been put together by boomBOOM and will draw from Sharon’s Baby Loves Jazz project, a collection of funkified kids-music classics. (Sharon’s longtime band The Dap-Kings played on Grammy-winner Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black album.) Tickets are available now for $15 in advance—half what Sharon’s sold-out show at the Beacon Theater cost last weekend.
