From the heart of Brooklyn comes a band of soulful street-corner singers and storytellers.  With a mix of pop and soul, they set their stage and tell a wondrous sidewalk fairy tale about a young girl searching for fame and the father she never knew.  With just one clue to lead her, she lands in the city that bears her name…BROOKLYN.
