The Brothers Yee
Perform a Birthday Tribute to Neil Young
11th St Bar510 E 11th St, New York 10009
The Brothers Yee give Neil Young the birthday-tribute treatment, with P.J. O’Connor and Billy Ryan fronting a lineup backed by Chris Fischer, Brendan Ryan and Patrick Carmichael. The program is split between an acoustic first set and an electric second set, with additional musicians possibly joining.
The New York City band grew from a weekly gig by members of the Bogmen, taking an “Old-Timey” direction built around country music, bluegrass and harmonies, with acoustic guitar, accordion and mandolin. Neil Young songs were staples of their earlier weekly sets; the group is also known for annual Fat Tuesday shows and a Jerry Garcia tribute.
A basement club in the East Village, 11th St Bar is a steady fixture for live music, hosting regular house band sets and long-running residencies. The room is a modest space where the audience sits on wooden benches, close enough to hear every note from the front row. Shows typically run from 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM, with multiple sets and a relaxed, conversational atmosphere. The bar is present, offering drinks to accompany the music, and the evening is a night out where people listen, talk, and share in the energy of the performers. It's a place where local musicians play with authenticity and warmth, and the audience is there to experience the music, not just watch it.
