CUNEIFORM CURATES THE STONE

I was very, very pleased to be contacted by John Zorn and offered the opportunity to book his amazing music space “The Stone" for two weeks in November. The Stone is a great listening space with good sound, comfortable chairs and great music six nights per week (they are closed on Mondays). There are two separate shows per night with a different act at each show and a separate admission to each show. Every cent of your admission money goes to the artists. Watch this space for updates to the schedule.

The Stone, 16 Avenue C (the corner of Avenue C and Second Street), NYC, NY 10009

Also: Since there will be so many musicians coming in for the NYC gigs, we are working on setting up a 2 day festival in DC or Baltimore for a number of the bands. Location and venue to be determined. This will occur on Saturday November 19 and Sunday November 20. This is still in the early planning stages, but the idea is to have 5 bands per day over 2 days (i.e. 10 acts). There will be a 'rock' day and a 'jazz' day. When we know who is playing where and when and feel comfortable posting it, it will be posted. But this is still many months away. Watch this space.
