The world is full of living musicians, but what it really craves are dead ones. With one foot still in the grave, The Ghost of Brooklyn is a real ghost from Green-Wood Cemetery. Not the scary nighttime variety, but a friendly musical ghost that meditates, plays guitar and prowls the city streets in search of good Vegan food. At night, instead of boozing, whoring and scaring the shit out of people he heads back to the graveyard to watch Youtube. Born in 1881 (or about that time), The Ghost of Brooklyn is an animated corpse raised for musical purposes. Cursed with authenticity and tremendous songwriting talent, his raw punchy sound will haunt you.
Everyone loves a friendly ghost. From subway platforms to the coliseums of ancient Rome, The Ghost of Brooklyn has famously appeared throughout the ages; then disappeared, and reappeared. He has the power to snatch bodies, and time travel: which is why he’s back again. His current human identity is a secret and really doesn't matter. What really matters is he is a real fucking ghost!
This is the story of a doomed Ghost that takes human form as a rockstar. He travels light; a guitar, a few microphones and some pedals. He says, "I may be DEAD, but I will always rock the streets of Brooklyn." Likened to the lo-fi heroes of the1950s, Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers & Johnny Cash, The Ghost of Brooklyn records live in a single take. His latest 16-song initiative, “I Am The Ghost of Brooklyn” was recorded on cassette tape in a mausoleum at Green-Wood Cemetery. When asked why he favors the underground approach, he says, “Underground? Yea - I was under-the-ground for 300 years.” Rumor has it he's on the short list for a 2016 Grammy Award for Best DEAD Artist.
