Juna’s Grand Opening: Moon Radio + The Smoota Tête-à-Tête

Come christen Juna with an evening of dreamy vocals, shimmering vibraphone, and otherworldly grooves.

Moon Radio brings together singer-songwriter Julia Haltigan and vibraphonist Yusuke Yamamoto. Their music lives somewhere between jazz, dream pop, and exotica—romantic, cinematic, and a little cosmic. Julia is a star, with a voice that makes you stop whatever you’re doing and listen.

The Smoota Tête-à-Tête, led by trombonist and composer Dave “Smoota” Smith, brings a playful, hypnotic mix of trombone, bass clarinet, flute, vibraphone, bass, and percussion. Smoota has worked with TV on the Radio, Run the Jewels, and Valerie June. Here, his band takes you somewhere stranger and more intimate.

A note from Julian, Juna’s founder: “I’ve booked thousands of bands in my life. For Juna, I’ve narrowed things down to about 20 of my absolute favorites. These two are among them. Getting to hear musicians this good in such a small, comfortable space is exactly why I wanted to open this place.”

Juna is a new DIY community arts space in Crown Heights: workspace by day; music, art, movement, and curious conversations by night. Come for the music. Get comfortable. Meet somebody.
