Who’s Live Today?

Ken and Friends featuring Cemre Necefbas, Emeline O'Rourke and Aidan O'Donnell

Sunny's Bar253 Conover St, New York 11231

Ken Shoji brings his weekly Sunday gathering to Sunny’s, joined by Cemre Necefbas, Emeline O’Rourke and Aidan O’Donnell. Shoji is a jazz and bluegrass violinist, and the series pairs him with fellow musicians from around the city.

Necefbas has been described by Jazz Lives as “a truly rewarding artist.”

Sunny's Bar offers a distinctive evening where the past and present merge in a room filled with nautical memorabilia and worn wooden tables that invite close conversation. The back saloon hosts live music most nights, with a special focus on bluegrass jams that spill out onto the cobblestone street, creating a communal vibe where musicians and listeners mingle freely. Drinks are simple and affordable, served at a cash-only bar that encourages presence and connection rather than distraction. The space feels like a time capsule, echoing its history as a gathering spot for dockworkers and sailors, yet it remains a lively hub for local artists and neighbors. Expect a night where music and community take center, with room to talk, dance, and soak in the authentic character of this enduring Brooklyn venue.
