Here's how The Moon and the Sea is billed: "A group of friends playing music on the shore witness the moon and the sea collide, crashing and rolling together in bright silver waves. Is it love? A dream? Could there be another explanation for this cataclysmic event? When they reunite on the beach years later, they find the answers in unexpected places."
Steve Sielatycki and Shoshana Feinstein produce the concert, featuring a four-piece band composed of Seth Barden (bass), Jeff Fowler (guitar), Damian Bassman (drums) and Mike Pettry (piano).
The Cutting Room is located at 44 E. 32nd Street. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the show with a $20 food/drink minimum. For more information, visit TheCuttingRoomNYC.com.
