Punk legend Joey Ramone of the Ramones was born on May 19th, 1951. As a Queens native (Forest Hills), we are honoring his legacy by making our own guitar picks and learning some basic punk chords on electric guitar! We will be joined by Real Brave instructors who will help teach iconic Ramones riffs from Blitzkrieg Bop and Rockaway Beach.

Stop by to enjoy some music and crafts, and maybe even learn a new skill — black leather jackets are optional!
