Rafe Stepto at Branded Saloon

Rafe Stepto

Rafe Stepto is a singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist with a smokey voice that brings to mind Al Green. He will be playing a solo set on guitar and piano Thursday, October 3 from 8:30-9:15 at Branded Saloon in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.

Stepto will sing original songs from his current project “Kiss Attack”, which employs a wide variety of jazz, funk, and even Brazilian chord changes along with 21st century production techniques and can loosely be described as “global soul.”

“Change” is a socially critical song about belief. Stepto says,”Religion is like McDonald’s. If you didn’t have it then, you’re not gonna.”

Though Stepto has recorded “Kiss Attack” as a solo venture, he seeks collaboration from the Brooklyn musical community. With little online presence, Stepto’s huge talent is a hidden gem well worth discovering.

Hear him yourself at Branded Saloon. 603 Vanderbilt Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11238

It smells like harbor, I thought as I walked out to the end of the pier to which the barge now known as the Waterfront Museum was docked. Unmistakable were they, even for someone like me — maybe particularly for someone like me, who’s always lived far enough from the ocean to never get used to its sensory impressions, but

MUSIC: Wiggly Air, by Kurt Gottschalk

Mothers of reinvention. “It’s never too late to be what you might have been,” according to writer George Eliot, who spoke from experience. Born in the UK in 1819, Mary Ann Evans found her audience using the masculine pen name in order to avoid the scrutiny of the patriarchal literati. Reinvention, of style if not self, is in the air
