This advertisement promoting the latest release from Eden & John’s East River String Band is vibrant, fun, and effectively conveys that these folks know how to throw down. At at time when gentrification has local culture and color under assault, it’s the artists, musicians, actors, photographers, and writers who are our only hope at staving off the calibrated and deliberate homogenization of New Yorkers.
Eden authors an excellent blog at Slum Goddess. The band’s new cd is available at amazon.com. Support your local artists. Unless you enjoy living between a CVS and Radio Shack.
