Music Under New York: Difference between revisions

Many of the musicians who perform in the subway under MUNY hold successful careers above ground as well. Saxophonist [[Zane Massey]] was involved early on in arranging [[big band]] performances with the organization in the 1980s and 1990s. A number of MUNY performers have gone on to perform at prestigious venues such as [[Carnegie Hall]] and [[Lincoln Center]]. These artists include [[Natalia Paruz]] (also known as the "Saw Lady"’ for playing the [[musical saw]]), [http://www.koreandrum.org/ VongKu Pak] (Korean drum), [http://bigapplechorus.org/ The Big Apple Boys] (a cappella choir), [http://www.recklesslyromantic.com/ James Graseck] (violin), [[Hypnotic Brass Band]], and [[Natalie Gelman]] ([[singer-songwriter]]). Possibly the best-known of them is [[Alice Tan Ridley]], a gospel singer who was featured on [[America's Got Talent (season 5)]]. The current MUNY lineup has artists such as the Ebony Hillbillies, SisterMonk, Didjworks, Manze Dayila, Renaissance Street Singers, [[Heth and Jed]], [[Kesha]], Yaz Band and the Ukuladies. A full list of performers and locations can be found on the MUNY website.
