Local Talent !





One thing i love about Living in New York is the abundance of fresh new talent. On any given evening you can walk into a local venue and check out up and coming artists. This past week i was at Arlene's Grocery in the Lower East Side. Arlenes's, among many similar venues, is home to local bands and artists. The walls are filled with refreshing and original music from bands such as "Rebecca Perl", and this months house band "French Camp".

Rebecca Perl is lead by singer and songwriter Rebecca Perlmutter. Rebecca is accompanied by an impressive composition of musicians. The band incorporates hints of blues, rock, and pop. Their music is reminiscent of earlier musicians such as Sheryl Crow, Eric Clapton and John Mayer. Defiantly a band worth checking out. French Camp, the house band at Arlene's Grocery was another band worth checking out. This 5 piece band composed of humble yet awkward guys really knows how to catch a crowds attention. They are most comparable to bands such as muse and radiohead. They will be playing every thursday at Arlene's Grocery for the month of February. You can check out more on Rebecca Perl By Visiting her facebook fan page, or listen here.
