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.

With a culture which contains a melting pot of nations following the initial immigration in New York's Ellis Island, Irish American and Jewish Klezmer music has also gained in popularity over the years. When one adds in the music from Broadway musical theater and Tin Pan Alley's music scene, it is clear to see why New York is one of the country's most vibrant scenes.

Whether desiring to hire a band to play a club or social event in West Park, NY, there are a number of options. Thanks to new media like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, event planners also have the opportunity to view videos of any bands of interest. As such, most planners like to narrow down the best entertainers, then make a final decision after reviewing audio or video cuts.

While planners also have the option of perusing different entertainers online without the help of a service like Thumbtack or others, one can save a lot of time by using one of these services. For, there are several steps in locating, hiring, paying and making sure the musicians or other entertainers are comfortable at the event.

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 York had seen a downturn in the live music scene, it appears a comeback is in process. The downturn was most likely temporary while people learned about streaming movies, music, videos and television. While these activities can be quite rewarding, a number of people have discovered there is still nothing quite like seeing a band live and in-person.

Regardless of the downturn, New York still remains one of the most historic and memorable music meccas of all time. Whether that be due to the local record companies, recording studios, live music clubs or the many music magazines published in the city, the music scene remains alive and well on a variety of fronts.

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.
