This is a great (and budget-friendly) opportunity to catch a lot of local bands as well as emerging artists from the U.S. and abroad. Check out the schedule and find tickets here.
We've enjoyed finding new bands via these showcases, such as Lukka, fronted by East Village-based singer-songwriter-composer Franzi Szymkowiak. (Read our interview with her here.)
The New Colossus Festival started in 2019.
Does anyone have recommendations on the better or most popular bands of the festival?
ReplyDeleteBe sure to catch local band Earth Dad playing Mercury Lounge on March 10

ReplyDeleteI spent some time on the New Colossus website (linked to in the post) and went through the lists of artists taking part this year... they link to their music... and made some decisions based on that.
I heard Mary Shelley play in Tompkins at one point and they were a fun punk band from Brooklyn with great energy. They're on the list and pretty good.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great festival!
