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.

By using one of these services, event planners can save time by providing information related to the type music desired, date of event, time and budget. After which, the company provides a listing of several different entertainers, or live bands from which to choose. In most cases, the listing will also include a review of past performances and a selection of music samples.

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.

Unfortunately, this definition does not hold true for a number of New Yorkers. For, many now feel there has been a recent decline in the overall talent and status of the scene. Brought on by a sense of increased corporate control, the new age of streaming and a severe increase in the cost of living, the live music scene has become less popular than in times past.

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.
