The NYCity Slickers is an 8 piece, high energy bluegrass band that combines the wailing tight harmonies and talents of three gorgeous gal singers with the hard driving sound of five musically gifted guys on banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, bass and accordion. The Slickers' unique "Big Apple Bluegrass" sound is a synthesis of traditional bluegrass, zydeco, delta blues & country pop, resulting in a theatrically inspired, toe tappin', one-of-a-kind, rockin' good time. Formed in 2008, The NYCity Slickers combines the talents of 8 classically trained musicians and vocalists who bring creative inspiration from their multi-faceted performance careers ranging from musical theatre, Nashville stages, jazz, pop, opera, orchestral, film and TV. The NYCity Slickers' theatrical concerts thrill audiences with eclectic sets of standard bluegrass, zydeco, delta blues, gospel and covers of popular artists such as the Dixie Chicks, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Rhonda Vincent, Claire Lynch and Ricky Scaggs, as well as their own original tunes.
The NYCity Slickers have performed for the past 2 years as a featured band in the "Take Me to the River" concert series on New York City's Pier 84. They were recently featured in a JetBlue spot with director Josh Nussbaum, a live TV performance and interview on "Something to Offer" with host Ann Marie Offer and an international radio broadcast for Centanni Broadcasting Network with host Johnny Mandolin. The NYCity Slickers regularly play all over New York City including NYC's premier venues: Rodeo Bar, Rockwood Music Hall, Spike Hill, Banjo Jim's, Mean Fiddler, the Jalopy Theatre, Iguana Club, Workshop Theatre, and the Zipper Theatre. In addition to these performance venues, The NYCity Slickers also have performed their gospel repertoire for church services in the NY and NJ area.
See you in Gaylax!!! Y'all ROCK n ROLL n SING n SWAY to the tune of LOVE n JOY!!! We love you! Akemi and David and Alice
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!
From me and my favorite Scarecrow, Rass Spears. Can't wait to hear you in person!
Dedicated to the NYCity Slickers and all they have given:
Sing -- sing -- Music was given
To brighten the gay, and kindle the loving;
Souls here, like planets in heaven,
By harmony's laws alone are kept moving.
Beauty may boast of her eyes and her cheeks,
But Love from the lips his true archery wings;
And she, who but feathers the dart when she speaks,
At once sends it home to the heart when she sings.
Then sing -- sing -- Music was given,
To brighten the gay, and kindle the loving;
Souls here, like planets in heaven,
By harmony's laws alone are kept moving.
When Love, rock'd by his mother,
Lay sleeping as calm as slumber could make him,
"Hush, hush," said Venus, "no other
Sweet voice but his own is worthy to wake him."
Dreaming of music he slumber'd the while,
Till faint from his lip a soft melody broke,
And Venus, enchanted, look'd on with a smile,
While Love to his own sweet singing awoke.
Then sing -- sing -- Music was given,
To brighten the gay, and kindle the loving;
Souls here, like planets in heaven,
By harmony's laws alone are kept moving.
Best of luck to ALL of you on the CD! Can't wait to get my copy! Love you guys! -Jody
