Fiona Silver is a New York City musician who embraces the famously gritty vibe of the downtown music scene, treading the lines between garage rock, pop, soul, and blues with sultry, jazzy tunes. While young, there’s no lack of experience or energy here, as Fiona and her band skillfully blend genres and work the city’s club scene. We last caught up with her on the Lower East Side for an episode of BTR Hear & There; now, she and the band head across the river for this intimate session at Serious Business Music in DUMBO!

Fiona Silver is currently working on new music for an upcoming release.

Auditorium is the musical project of Los Angeles-based Spencer Berger, who began his music career singing with The Metropolitan Opera’s Children’s Chorus. A sense of drama persists in his music as well as on the album which he created by himself, recording all vocals and instruments -- the lush melodies and layers of sound provide a bed for Spenser’s tales. He dropped by Serious Business Music in DUMBO to share an intimate, stripped-down look at his music.

The First Music is available now.

Like any good Jersey band, Springfield’s The Vaughns are inspired by bowling, fried food, and music. Their riffy, garagey take on punk is a fun one, filled with catchy melodies and sweet hooks. If this is your first time hearing/seeing them, pay attention! They dropped by Serious Business Music in DUMBO, Brooklyn, to show us how it’s done.

The Tomfoolery EP by The Vaughns is available now.
