Green Lung Studio is proud to present a concert series curated by resident artist Hannah Marks.

Secret Mall was formed in the summer of 2016 by four young New York based musicians looking to combine their musical upbringing in jazz with their fascination of internet culture. The collective, with Alfredo Colon on the Electric Wind Instrument, Edward Gavitt on guitar, Steve Williams on bass, and Andres Valbuena on drums has had the chance to perform in many recognized spaces such as The Jazz Gallery, The Underbrook Theater at Yale University, The Outsiders Improvised and Creative Music Festival, The Knitting Factory, The Stood at Purchase College as well as may other venues. The band has also been featured on WKCR as well as publications such as Downbeat and The New Yorker. In July 2017, Secret Mall released their debut EP titled YeeP, with original compositions by all members combining the sounds of modern jazz, futurefunk, and vaporwave. The strong camaraderie present in Secret Mall allows the music to flow into many different places, making each presentation the band gives completely different to any previous one, but always present is the humor and silliness that united the group in the first place.
