Rockwood Music Hall Hosts Genre Defying Sounds
By Chris Zebo, Correspondent
It isn’t difficult to catch a free show in the Lower East Side these
days. Perambulate a few blocks along Ludlow Street and you’re likely
to hear live music spilling out of four or five venues. But, if you
haven’t noticed, the sounds pouring over our eardrums are becoming more
and more difficult to classify. As musicians continue to innovate and
amalgamate styles, the boundaries of genres are dissolving and
interlarding.
Sure, experimentation has long been the idée fixe of the Lower East
Side, but where does it end? The music coming out of lower Manhattan
has diversified to such an extent in recent years that “genre crossing”
is inevitably becoming a genre itself.
