About the Brooklyn Country Music Festival...





Alex Battles founded the Brooklyn Country Music Festival in 2004 to give New York City country fans a place to see their favorite bands and learn about new ones all on one weekend. Dock Oscar, founder of the Kings County Opry has been a co-organizer, designer, and moral supporter of the festival since its inception.

The Brooklyn Country Music Festival is a grass-roots effort put forth for the sheer love of the music. The bands work for tips. We hope you have a good time at this and several other events we put together   including The Brooklyn Country Music Festival, The CasHank Hootenanny Jamboree, The Brooklyn Winter Hoedown, & JugFest. Alex also performs his own country compositions in his act called The Whisky Rebellion, which contains anywhere from 1-7 members, depending on venue constraints and the weather.
