Rock the Block OTM

 

OTM

Combine a legendary ‘90’s R&B singer from Brooklyn with an Irish born one whose band toured with The Who, Van Halen and Sheryl Crow, a trailblazing, jamming guitarist, and White Plains’ very own percussionist Craig “Butter” Glanville and more, and this promises to be a fitting rockin’ series finale, one great hit after another.

BSKi:

New school/old school crooner BSKi a/k/a Brian Collazo (The Roots, Shawn Mendes, Lorde) blends R&B, Funk, & Hip-Hop with Afro-Latin rhythms. He’s known to do epic next-level Stevie Wonder covers as well.
