Discovering Live Bands For Hire New York

By Dennis Thompson


One of the best way to become acquainted with musicians is to get out and talk with people. Another way, is to use a service like Thumbtack or others which help event planners locate, place and pay talent for a variety of events. Whether looking for live bands for hire New York, or a local singer songwriter, these services can save time and money.

Since New York has a strong music and multicultural scene, there are often a number of different options when hiring entertainment. Whether seeking an Irish American, Jewish Klezmer, Classic Rock band or other entertainment, the sky is often the limit when it comes to finding talent in the Big Apple. As such, it is important to know the date of the event, desired music and style and budget before contacting a service.

When looking for entertainment for an event or party in or near West Park, NY, planners have a number of options. For example, there are now a number of different services like Thumbtack and others who provide a listing based on a specific set of criteria. Whereas, those planning an event can also peruse sites like Facebook and YouTube by searching on music from a specific area or region.

There are also ways an individual or event planner can find talent online without a service. Although, using a service is often advised as doing so can often save time and money in the process. Still, there are ways to search for talent on most social networking websites. Generally, if one searches on musicians in a specific area or region of a state, several different links will be returned. One of the best sites to use for this type search is YouTube, though simply entering a city and state will also pull up information on other social networking websites.

While many have tried to define the New York music scene, one of the best to do so is that of Richie Unterberger. Richie has described the city as well as the music scene as being flashy, diverse, polyethnic and immense. In other words, a city engaged in a race for superiority when it comes to art and music.

While New Yorkers are somewhat saddened by the downturn in the live music scene, it does appear that live music is making a comeback. While many have turned to streaming music and video, others still prefer a real live music experience. As such, the remaining blues, jazz, rock and other clubs in New York are starting to see a resurgence of fans.

The city itself never gave up on the live music scene. Instead, a number of record companies, music magazines and recording studios have all moved to New York. As such, music still holds a viable place in the hearts, minds and souls of all New Yorkers.

Most musicians whether novice or experienced dream of playing venues like Carnegie Hall, Radio City and Madison Square Garden. While talent is one aspect of achieving these goals, dedication, time and the willingness to start out small and grow big are the most important. For, while many well known artists have played these venues, it took most a long time to get to that point.
