KGB Bar

Join us for an evening of readings and songs!

Brothers, Heth and Jed Weinstein put together a two-man book event in which they perform songs and recount juicy stories from their busking adventures; including turf wars with roving busker gangs, run-ins with police, becoming unwitting First Amendment activists, and what it’s really like to serenade thousands of New Yorkers on a daily basis. Buskers: The On-the-Streets, In-the-Trains, Off-the-Grid Memoir of Two New York City Street Musicians
“From the minute I met these guys, I knew they had something special. Heth and Jed’s attitude towards getting music to the people without a label and major financing was way ahead of its time. It’s been exciting to watch from the sidelines as they take their career to new heights. Follow the story of how they became a well-oiled machine in the subways and streets of NYC, and then check out a gig for yourself.” —Jamie Candiloro (R.E.M., Willie Nelson, Courtney Love, Ed Kowalczyk, Ryan Adams) Website: www.hethandjed.com
