Why there'll be electric guitars on East Village streets this afternoon

As part of Make Music Winter .. the Tilted Axes Mobile Electric Guitar Procession will work its way through the East Village this afternoon from 3-5.



Here's more about it:

Composer and producer Patrick Grant creates and leads a procession with dozens of electric guitarists through the East Village, with a special stop at The Alamo, the iconic Astor Place sculpture commonly referred to as The Cube.

To observe this occurrence, Grant introduces new repertoire that evokes the iconic guitar music that has scored sub-genre Wild West cinema. The event will be a moving, polyphonic sound cloud layered in compelling, electric rhythms to honor the season’s axial tilt.
