The Town Hall: New York Loves Sly! Featuring Steven Bernstein

The Town Hall: New York Loves Sly! Featuring Steven BernsteinOn Saturday, August 30 at 7 PM, Bryant Park hosts a powerful tribute to a music icon with The Town Hall: New York Loves Sly! Featuring Steven Bernstein. This live performance honors the music and legacy of Sly & The Family Stone, reimagined by Steven Bernstein’s Millennial Territory Orchestra and joined by special guests Vernon Reid, Corey Glover, and Joan As Police Woman.

Blending psychedelic funk, soul, R&B, and jazz, Bernstein’s ensemble breathes new life into timeless tracks like “Family Affair,” “Everyday People,” and “M’Lady.” The arrangements reflect Sly Stone’s boundary-breaking style, while channeling the bold, creative spirit of New York City’s downtown scene.
