Editor’s Note: As venues slowly begin to reopen — and new performance spaces pop up over the summer — our new series Out & About highlights the free live music events and showcases that listeners can enjoy in safe, outdoor environments.

On top of being a dining and shopping hotspot, mark down Bow Market as a mini music venue, too.
The Union Square marketplace has quickly become an ideal locale for small-scale outdoor performances, as artists and fans ease back into attending in-person events. Bow has hosted free live music seven nights a week since late May, treating visitors to socially-distanced tunes from a small stage that’s tucked into the corner of the dining courtyard.
The series combines monthly residencies — featuring Prateek, Tim Hall, and Amber Ais in June — with one-off sets and special events, such as a Juneteenth celebration curated by Brandie Blaze that runs all day tomorrow (June 19). Vinyl Index also hosts a weekly series called Open Late, which invites area DJs to take over the shop’s turntables from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday nights.
Get a peek the rest of the June schedule below.
