The Latona Brothers w/Willerm Delisfort | Jason Marshall | Tyrone Allen
Bar LunÀtico486 Halsey Street, New York 11233
The Latona Brothers bring a five-piece lineup to Bar LunÀtico for two sets, with Andrew Latona on guitar and Christopher Latona on drums, joined by Willerm Delisfort on piano, Jason Marshall on baritone sax, and Tyrone Allen on bass.
Andrew and Christopher Latona were raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, where gospel, jazz, Go-Go and their father's improvised pipe-organ music helped shape their sound. Now based in Brooklyn, the brothers co-lead a group grounded in those musical journeys; Andrew has also worked with Jon Faddis, Paul Carr, Jazzmeia Horn and the Julius Rodriguez Trio.
A basement club in Bedford-Stuyvesant, LunÀtico is a musician-owned space where live music starts at 9pm nightly, following dinner service. The stage is modest, with a single chair for the band, and the audience sits on wooden booths or the floor, close enough to feel the energy. The room is lit by dim bulbs, with walls lined with vintage posters and a few well-worn speakers. There's a bar with original cocktails, craft beer, and wine, and a dinner menu available from 6pm to 11pm. Shows are donation-based, with a $10 recommendation in cash. It's a place where people listen to music and talk afterward, in a familiar, unpolished setting.
