Wonders of Nature (CLOSED)

As Williamsburg music venues shutter left and right, this space is a rare newcomer for the Brooklyn hood. The cozy bar-venue is more akin to a sparsely furnished living room than what you might imagine as a concert hall, but that only heightens the intimacy of the music. Its website describes the events, presented by longtime Cake Shop booker Andy Bodor, as "fringe / avant-garde / experimental with a focus on music and performance." A recent visit featured a bill that merged outré outsider folk, stoned freak-rock and hushed songwriter fare.
