Join MOFAD for a special screening of Finding Edna Lewis, the first major documentary about the innovative chef who introduced Americans to the seasonal Southern cooking of her Virginia upbringing.

Afterwards, Debra Freeman (award-winning writer, host, and producer of the documentary) and Osayi Endolyn (James Beard Award-winning writer, producer, and curator) will discuss the places and people that shaped Ms. Lewis into the culinary pioneer whose influence is still felt today.

Ticket includes access to Flavor: The World to Your Brain from 6 to 7 PM, light bites inspired by Edna Lewis from Gage & Tollner, and beverages.

Riding high off their 2024 “Roll With It Tour,” which received rave reviews from fans and critics alike and boasted several sold out shows, Billboard Chart-topping blues rockers The Record Company (TRC) have announced that they will be continuing their routing into 2025 and will be headlining the Music Hall of Williamsburg on April 11. They will continue to support their latest release The 4th Album. 

During the shows, fans will enjoy the trio’s signature raw, bluesy rock sound as they perform tracks from their new record like lead single, “Talk to Me,” which reached #4 at AAA radio, and signature songs like “Dance On Mondays” and “Highway Lady.” The triumvirate will also round out their performance with hits from their catalog, including “Off the Ground” (#1 on the U.S. Billboard Alternative Songs Chart), “Rita Mae Young” (#12 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart), and “Baby, I’m Broken” (#6 on the Adult Alternative Songs chart).

TRC, featuring Vocalist and Guitarist Chris Vos, Bassist and Background Vocalist Alex Stiff, and Drummer Marc Cazorla, has a chemistry that brings a familial warmth to their music. Their 2016 debut album, Give It Back to You, earned a Grammy nomination and established their reputation for delivering both chart-topping tracks and thrilling live performances. Notably, their 2019 Bonnaroo set, described by Rolling Stone Country as “a wildly energetic show and one of the most communal experiences of the festival,” earned them a spot on Rolling Stone’s “5 Best Country and Americana Moments.” Over the years, they’ve shared stages with legends like John Mayer, B.B. King, Social Distortion, Bob Seger, and Blackberry Smoke, further cementing their place in modern rock.

Today, more than a decade since the band formed, TRC continues to take fans along with them on their musical journey through their stripped back approach.

“We want people to feel like they’re in the house [studio] with us, being part of this unpolished and homemade thing,” said Stiff. Cazorla added, “We embrace that space [between us] as part of the raw element. That’s what we explored on our latest album, and it’s beautiful. We can’t wait to continue it on the road.”

There will be local city agencies and business to assist attendees with everyday concerns  and matters.  Face painting, prize giveaways, and much more!

This spring, the New York Transit Museum will celebrate our Earth-friendly transit system at our annual family benefit, Party on Wheels! Bring the whole family for: breakfast and coffee, artmaking and face painting, a photo opportunity, a scavenger hunt – AND unlimited rides on our vintage subway cars from the Museum platform to Hoyt-Schermerhorn and back!
