HOWARD FISHMAN'S MONKEY FARM

" Moody, dangerous, ancient, modern, ruthless, longing, explosive, and quiet."
- freewilliamsburg.com

" Transcends time and idiom."
- The New York Times

" Something of a shock."
- The Village Voice.

A pioneer of the Williamsburg music scene, Howard Fishman has been a neighborhood fixture since his days playing the Bedford subway platform a decade ago. An early weekly residency at GALAPAGOS led to his opening the doors at PETE'S CANDY STORE, where thursday nights belonged to his quartet for over three years. Fishman has since played all over the world (including his Lincoln Center debut in that other borough earlier this year) and has released half a dozen CDs, garnering critical raves every step of the way.

MONKEY FARM is the name of Fishman's record label, and also the designation he gives to shows where the quirk knob will be turned up a little bit. Whether performing his own inimitable songs or mining a seemingly endless repertoire of soulful pop, gospel, country, blues and jazz, nothing is safe. When the FARM comes to the TOWN, the MONKEYS will be climbing the walls!
