Jennifer Palou, the writer said such kind words below –
“The incredible duo of Makar have been taking over New York City as one of the prominent mainstays in the scene. Andrea DeAngelis and Mark Purnell pour their heart and soul into their music, and have become one of the most talked about and well-regarded acts, even more so over the course of the past 2 years. Ready to release their new record Fancy Hercules this year, we had the opportunity to sit down with Makar to discuss their upcoming endeavors.”

A little about RaR Bar
RaR Bar is a local bar, eatery and art space. It was open in November of 2007 by Tina Stipanovic. “RaR bar is my playground, a space where I share my ideas, my passions, my favorites. You may spot me in the kitchen cooking up some new recipe, building some new something or other in some corner of the space or simply blending in with the crowd and enjoying some of our many awesome events.”
Friends or newcomers are hard to distinguish here. If you don't have a friend when you walk in pull up a chair to our horseshoe-shaped bar with no TVs and ease into conversations and friendships. By the time you leave you will have discovered why many of our patrons consider RaR bar Astoria’s best kept secret.
In case you have missed it. MAKAR is performing via Periscope every Monday through infinity. Our set starts promptly at 8pm (EST). We are calling it MAKAR Mondays to help folks get through a dreary Monday and start their week off right.

Our recent in-depth interview with the fabulous Carrie Lowell, writer for Kurrent Music is live!
She asked awesome, scintillating questions and also said such nice things about us! Sampling below:
“Makar is the folk-rock duo of Andrea DeAngelis and Mark Purnell. Creating an impeccable brand of music, the group, who have been making waves the past several years, are gearing up for their latest release Fancy Hercules which will finally see the light of day in 2017. The musically charged duo pen poetic lyrics and mystical melodies that are thought-provoking and breathtaking all at once. This month we sat down with DeAngelis and Purnell from Makar, to catch up on their 2017 horizon.”
