A new intimate theatrical nightlife experience coming to Bushwick and launching this Valentine’s Day weekend.

01/20/2026

It’s our final week at Umbra, and we’re going out with an absolute bang 🎶🔥

Wednesday will be the last open jam in our residency with the Brooklyn Drum Collective. Bring your guitars, horns, and/or sticks—full backline provided. There will be a sign-up sheet at the event. The house band will kick off the night, and shortly after, host will begin calling musicians up to play. Sets run five minutes per song, with an emphasis on musical improvisation and collaboration.

Thursday evening our dear friend Cole Stone-Frisina returns to Umbra to play two high octane sets of groove-based jazz with his killer band. Cole is a genre-bending and virtuosic saxophone player based in Brooklyn, New York. He originally hails from Atlanta, Georgia. Cole has graced Umbra’s stages countless times over the last two years, and his riotous, larger than life energy both on the bandstand and in day to day life has shined bright on some of our favorite nights.

Friday will be our last night for live music, and it’s going to be a party! We’ll kick things off with a set at 8pm from The Ruckus. Inspired by Prince, Earth Wind and Fire, and D’Angelo, The Ruckus combines their vivacious energy with a deep appreciation for the RICH MUSICAL TRADITION that precedes them to create a sound that is both familiar and new.

Around 9pm our friends Honeytrap will take the stage to send us off in style. Honeytrap is a collective of NYC-based musicians focusing on the performance, composition, and improvisation of creative music. They meld together hip-hop, soul, groove, jazz fusion, and many more styles into a sonic stew that is uniquely their own.

The band will start the night with a set of original music, and then open up the jam for people to hop onstage and join in.

While Umbra may be winding down, something new is already taking shape at 785 Hart. We’re looking ahead to a new chapter in 2026, stay tuned to some exciting updates on this page as we make our metamorphosis ✨

It’s our second to last week left for us at Umbra, and we’ve got another lineup of amazing music ahead of us!

Wednesday continues our open jam residency with the Brooklyn Drum Collective. Bring your guitars, horns, and/or sticks—full backline provided. There will be a sign-up sheet at the event. The house band will kick off the night, and shortly after, host will begin calling musicians up to play. Sets run five minutes per song, with an emphasis on musical improvisation and collaboration.

Thursday night we have our last evening residency hosting Catbus Collective, who will be performing two Ghibli-themed sets! Catbus Collective is a seven piece jazz ensemble known for its unique fusion of Ghibli, anime, and City Pop soundtracks blending with jazz music.

Be sure to join us for a pre-concert friending Happy Hour event hosted by Anime Social Nexus involving anime-themed icebreakers and tier list/ranker boards.

On Friday evening we have a jazz double-header with Austin Zhang and the Waldo Experiment! Austin Zhang is a jazz saxophonist and composer based in New York City. His playing seeks to emulate the expressiveness of the human voice on the saxophone as he takes primary inspiration from vocalists. The Waldo Experiment straddles the boundary between swinging jazz and contemporary, groove-oriented bangers.

This Saturday will mark the return of two of our favorite acts, PLAiDE and Pon Far, who will each be performing one set. PLAiDE is the latest project from New York-based saxophonist and composer Sunhyun Yoo, weaving jazz and electronics into lush, groove-driven soundscapes. Brooklyn-based, bedroom pop outfit Pon Far will be returning to the stage at Umbra to share their intimate yet far-reaching songwriting.

Sunday is Umbra owner Jorge’s birthday party, and we’ll be celebrating with a Superjam, our last Sunday open jam! Longtime open jam residents Noah Amick and Felix Ambach will join Jorge in the house band, who will kick off the evening with a set of ambient electronic improvisation. Bring your instruments, and join in the jam!

For our final three weeks of live music at Umbra, we’ve invited some of our favorite artists back for one last time—and we’re also welcoming a few exciting new faces into the room.

Wednesday continues our open jam residency with the Brooklyn Drum Collective. Bring your guitars, horns, and/or sticks—full backline provided. There will be a sign-up sheet at the event. The house band will kick off the night, and shortly after, host will begin calling musicians up to play. Sets run five minutes per song, with an emphasis on musical improvisation and collaboration.

Thursday, Baklava Express returns to Umbra for two sets of Middle Eastern fusion. The NYC-based band performs original music inspired by the traditions of the Arab world and Turkey, alongside influences from jazz, flamenco, and Eastern European folk. They’ll be joined by Sounds of Cyprus, an ensemble of highly skilled musicians deeply committed to preserving and sharing Cyprus’s cultural legacy.

Friday brings a stacked three-band bill featuring the return of Cold Sugar, Fox Frazier, and DIRT. Cold Sugar is a New York City band led by guitarist and singer-songwriter Guy Fiumarelli, alongside drummer and engineer Brian Duke. Local favorites Fox Frazier will take the second set, followed by DIRT, who will headline the night in celebration of their album release Severed, out Friday.

Saturday, the momentum continues with an evening presented by Juno Roome, featuring performances from Anjoli Simone, Koa Hoa, and Choo Choo. Juno will open the night with a short solo set before passing the stage to this lineup of exceptional artists.

Sunday, we welcome our dear friend and Umbra resident performer Arya Gaston back to the stage for one final show with her trio. A Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist, Arya has carved out a distinctive voice as a producer, songwriter, director, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. Psychedelic soul is the vibe; love is the tribe. The evening will also feature a set from Radio Brass Band, from the luminous mind of Matt Hull—a Boston-born, Brooklyn-based trumpet player and composer inspired by soft radio static and the glow of novelty handheld radios.

It’s with heavy hearts that we announce that our days as Umbra are coming to an end.

We’ve poured an incredible amount of love, sweat, and tears into building this space, and along the way, it became so much more than a venue. As a place for artists, by artists, we’ve had the rare privilege of getting to know (and hear!) so many extraordinary musicians, many of whom have become family to us.

The difficult reality is that the financial burden of maintaining an accessible live music space in New York City has continued to grow, and ultimately, it’s no longer sustainable for us long-term.

That said, we’re going out with a bang! ✨ 
Our final three weeks will feature some truly stellar programming, with many of our favorite artists returning alongside some new faces we’re excited to welcome.
Please note a few important updates to service and hours for the remainder of the month:

* We will no longer be offering a full dinner menu as we work to stay as lean as possible. Small bites will still be available to enjoy alongside drinks and the music. 
* Doors will open at 7pm, with music beginning at 8pm. 
* Rather than our traditional format of one artist performing two sets, most evenings will feature two or more artists, allowing us to spotlight as many musicians as possible - so we encourage you to stay until the end. 
As the old adage goes, when one door closes, another opens. While Umbra may be winding down, something new is already taking shape at 785 Hart. We’re looking ahead to a new chapter in 2026, and if you’re curious about where we’re headed next, stop by and ask. We’ll be inviting a select few for a sneak peek at what’s to come.

We hope you’ll join us this month to celebrate, reflect, and share a few final nights together. We’re endlessly grateful to all of you for helping make this dream real.

“You are the music while the music lasts.”

With love, Jorge & Zach
