“LIC Landing Live” Music Series Coming Back this Thursday for 4th Year

LIC Landing

June 10, 2019 By Staff Report

A six-part music program will be kicking off this Thursday on the Long Island City waterfront.

The 4th annual “LIC Landing Live,” a summer music series that will feature performances from a variety of artists until Aug. 22, will run every other Thursday from 6 p.m. through 8 p.m.

All music programs are free, open to the public and feature Queens based artists.

The first performance will be Arun Luthra’s Konnakol Jazz Project which consists of Jazz artists of Indian heritage. The group aims to fuse a modern post-bop sound with classical Indian elements.

The series is sponsored by the Hunters Point Parks Conservancy (HPPC) and co-sponsored by the Queens Council on the Arts and COFFEED.

Rob Basch, president of the HPPC, said it took about two to three months to plan the series, and that the series draws a big crowd.

“The waterfront is a great place for live music,” Basch said. “It’s a perfect setting for a band to perform with the city in the background.”

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
