TICKETS + INFORMATION

Gyan Riley is an astonishingly eclectic guitarist, melding different styles (he’s particularly conversant with Carnatic/Hindustani) into a coherent stylistic whole. This is his electric band.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, not only is the Colombian (duh) food at Colombia in Park Slope delicious, but — I promise you — you won’t leave hungry. Streaming at home, have a Brandy Crusta: Use a lemon peel to rim a large chilled wine glass with sugar. Pour 2 oz. Brandy, 1/2 oz. Grand Marnier, and 1/4 teaspoon each of lemon juice and Simple Syrup, with 3 dashes of Angostura bitters, into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into the rinsmed glass. Garnish with the lemon peel.
