Rocks Off’s summer concert cruise series kicks into high gear with three notable shows aboard the Liberty Belle over the coming weeks. Andy Frasco & The U.N., Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime and The Brothers Comatose will each set sail around Manhattan for three-hour concert cruises.
The series has provided music fans with shows that feel like more than standard club dates since 2002. The Liberty Belle departs from Pier 36 at 299 South Street in Lower Manhattan. Bars are on board with food also available for purchase. The three-hour outings pair live music with skyline views, turning each date into part concert, part sightseeing cruise.
Andy Frasco & The U.N. will turn the Liberty Belle deck into a full-on party on Friday, June 26 with support from Caleb Hawley. Frasco’s anything-goes attitude and high-octane performances should be a good fit for the open-air, on the water vibe of a harbor cruise. Expect singalongs and spontaneous chaos as Frasco & The U.N. continue to tour behind their album Growing Pains.
Badfish: A Tribute to Sublime hit the NYC waterways on Thursday, July 2. The Rhode Island-based band has spent nearly 25 years building a devoted following by leaning into Sublime’s mix of ska, punk and laid-back California groove. Those hooks and nostalgic refrains should land especially well on the water with the Lower Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty as a backdrop.
The Brothers Comatose wrap the trio of shows on Thursday, July 16. Based in San Francisco, the quintet blends elements of bluegrass, Americana, folk and rock into a sound all their own fans have dubbed “Golden Grass.” Fittingly, the band led by brothers Alex and Ben Morrison recently put out an album of the same name. BroCo should give the cruise series a more acoustic-minded counterpart while still keeping things lively.
