![]() The venue-a small, cozy space with an exposed brick interior and stringed instruments on the walls-occupies the ground floor of a 90-year-old building tucked away in the Columbia Street Waterfront District, right by the border of Carroll Gardens (though some old-school Brooklynites consider this to be part of Red Hook). On September 25 th at 8:30pm, I arrived at the Jalopy, which I’d never been to, admittedly. Plus, a bonus interview I conducted with Brown after the show. Below is my account of Brown’s 25-song, two-set show, with some added bits of information that I researched after the fact and included here for context. It was the release show for “Sidetrack My Engine”, the second album by 16-year-old Brooklyn-based banjo virtuoso Nora Brown. Last fall, I was invited to attend a live musical performance at the Jalopy Theater and School of Music and write about it for Big City Folks.
