Fusion East Announces Live
Music Lineup in East New York

Brooklyn, NY — A live music experience is coming to East Brooklyn as Fusion East Caribbean & Soul Restaurant announces its monthly 2026 Live Music Series, bringing live R&B, jazz, funk, reggae, and Latin jazz bands to East New York.

The series will take place on the first Tuesday of each month, transforming the restaurant into a destination for live entertainment featuring full bands and singers who are well known throughout New York City’s vibrant music scene. The first show is on March 17, which is the 3rd Tuesday, but the shows will be on the first Tuesday of each month, from April to June 2026.

Located at 1179 Elton Street in East New York, Brooklyn, Fusion East has built a reputation for its Caribbean and soul food cuisine. The music series expands the experience by combining live music, dining, and cocktails in one of Brooklyn’s fastest-growing neighborhoods.

Organizers say the series aims to create a consistent nightlife option in East Brooklyn, where opportunities to see professional live bands in an intimate restaurant setting are rare.

Monthly Live R&B and Jazz Bands Coming to East New York

The newly announced lineup features respected performers from across the city’s live music circuit. Each event will showcase a different band performing a blend of R&B, jazz, soul, funk, and Caribbean-influenced sounds.

The series lineup includes:

Tuesday March 17 — The Harmony Bartz Experience Band
Tuesday April 7 — The Reggie Woods Band
Tuesday May 5 — Ronnie Roc’s Afrazz Trio and Friends
Tuesday June 2 — Out of the Blue

Music begins at 7:00 PM, with happy hour specials from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. There is no cover charge, making the series accessible to residents throughout East Brooklyn and beyond.

A New Live Music Destination in East Brooklyn

Fusion East is currently one of the only restaurant and bar venues in the East Brooklyn area offering both high-quality cuisine and regularly scheduled live band performances. The goal of the new series is to make the restaurant a gathering place for music lovers looking for live R&B and jazz without traveling to Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn.

The venue sits near the Gateway area of East New York, one of Brooklyn’s fastest-growing residential communities, making it a convenient destination for residents in East New York, Brownsville, Canarsie, and surrounding neighborhoods, including parts of Queens.

The series is supported by Brooklyn Buzz and EatandDrink.NYC, media platforms that highlight restaurants, nightlife, and events across Brooklyn.

Cal Jones, Managing Partner of JIG Media, who oversees operations for Brooklyn Buzz and EatandDrink.NYC, said the live music series reflects the strong relationships built with musicians throughout the city.

“New York City has an incredible pool of musicians, but many neighborhoods don’t have places where full bands can regularly perform,” said Cal Jones, Managing Partner of JIG Media. “Fusion East is filling that gap in East Brooklyn. Because of the relationships we’ve built with artists across the city, we’re able to bring in bands that audiences already know and love while introducing new talent to the community.”

Jones, who works closely with musicians and band leaders throughout New York, helped curate the lineup for the new series.

“These are real bands with real followings across the city,” Jones added. “People can come out, enjoy great Caribbean and soul food, have drinks at the bar, and experience the kind of live music energy that usually requires traveling to Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn.”

Organizers believe the series will quickly become one of the most popular things to do in East New York Brooklyn during the week, giving residents a place to gather for live music, food, and community.
