Yes kids, it’s time once again to get your PBR and oversized sunglasses and head out of the house for New York City’s annual hullaballoo CMJ Music Marathon.
Unfortunately, once again we will not have a truck out in NY to give away ice cream, but we will have a photographer out to document the best shows and the best crazies.
Among the bands we’ll be shooting are Canadian powerhouse Shout Out Out Out Out, who will be headlining the Whotune showcase October 18 at Fat Baby alongside Army Navy and TAB the Band. SOOOO are favorites around ICM HQ and especially of Canadian blooded photographer Jared, who has shot them dozens of times, including in NYC last year. You should definitely check them out if you get the chance.
You should also check out up-and-comers Boy & Bear and The Barr Brothers. Both are folksy bands in the mold of The Avett Brothers or Mumford & Sons. Here’s hoping they can ride the folk wave to popularity. Be sure to check out Boy & Bear at Bowery Ballroom or Union Hall and The Barr Brothers at one of their three shows during CMJ.
If you have a show you’d like us to cover, let us know and we’ll do our best to come out!
