NEW YORK VOICES STARTED FROM A DESIRE TO DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE CRUMBLING MUSIC INDUSTRY AND THE LACK OF ALBUM SALES, AS WELL AS TO FIND A NEW WAY TO SUPPORT ARTISTS IN A MANNER UNIQUE TO JOE'S PUB. SINCE ALBUM SALES ARE A RELIC, WE HAVE COMMITTED TO COMMISSIONING AT LEAST THREE MUSICIANS PER YEAR AND HELPING THEM TO DEVELOP NEW TOOLS FOR THEIR LIVE SHOW. THE HOPE FOR THESE SHOWS IS THAT THEY WILL LEAD TO LONGER RUNS IN VARIOUS MARKETS AROUND THE COUNTRY AND ALLOW THESE MUSICIANS TO ACCESS A NEW REALM OF GRANTS AND FUNDING. NEW YORK VOICES ANNUALLY COMMISSIONS A SMALL GROUP OF ARTISTS OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR, PRODUCED AS A CULMINATING PERFORMANCE SERIES. IN ADDITION, THE PROGRAM PROVIDES FINISHING FUNDS AS NECESSARY TO ASSIST THE ARTIST IN FULLY REALIZING EACH PROJECT AND INCREASE THEIR VIABILITY FOR A TOURING LIFE. WITH THESE DYNAMIC INITIATIVES, JOE'S PUB HAS BEEN ABLE TO GROW FROM BEING STRICTLY A PRESENTING VENUE INTO A ROBUST PRODUCING EFFORT, WORKING WITH A DIVERSE SLATE OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY ARTISTS. |
