New Music in Bryant Park, Jazz and Classical.

Some good stuff. Tonight at 6PM is Chris Washburne and Ole Mathisen in a non-Latin, more experimental mode with their project, FFEAR, which stands for Forum for Electro-Acoustical Research. Tuomas if you are reading this it this might be in your wheelhouse, outside jazz with a Scandinavian angle.

I'll be playing a live set of my Professor Genius, et. al music at Botanica on Houston Street tomorrow night after 9 pm. Pretty sure I'll be on before 11. Free, of course. Should be fun playing on those old tables ; )

I'm producing this one; would love it if people came out.

Noteworthy's Singer/Songwriter panel discussion is a free event celebrating the careers of four powerful female artists writing, recording and performing live music in the fields of hip-hop, musical theater, electropop, rock and R&B. Panelists include YouTube rap diva AWKWAFINA, multi-platinum recording artist WYNTER GORDON, outré cabaret and theater sensation ERIN MARKEY and alt-electropop explorer XENIA RUBINOS. Media critic Elisabeth Vincentelli of The New York Post will moderate.

Panelists will talk about the process and labor of writing, the hustle and thrill of performance, their influences and mentors, the personal definition of "singer/songwriter", how to collaborate with a team, the necessity of business management, and how to build a career while staying true to yourself. A question and answer period will provide advice and encouragement for aspiring artists in the audience.

Noteworthy was founded with the intention of providing a platform for women in the NYC music industry to speak openly and incisively about their path to success, to inspire others with their stories, and to teach those who work within the field what the view is like from both sides of the stage. Noteworthy strives to present panelists that reflect NYC's own broad range of ethnicity, background, experience and genre specialty. Anyone curious about the current state of the music industry and the role gender plays in it today will find ample opportunity to learn.

Noteworthy is scheduled on Thursday July 25, 2013 at 7:00pm in Housing Works Bookstore Cafe (located at 126 Crosby Street, one block from the Broadway/Lafayette B/D/F/M stop). and should run for ninety minutes. This event is free and open to the general public; we recommend arriving prior to the 7:00pm start time to guarantee seating and access for this talk. The Housing Works Cafe will serve wine, beer, coffee and snacks throughout the event; no outside food or drink is permitted.
