The Manhattan Beat reports on live music news and photographs in New York City. A live music calendar also is updated frequently. Pre-pandemic, I used to write concert reviews and post photographs every night. Since June, I have been posting articles and photo spreads of the live music that happens in pandemic-era New York City every night.

Cucamaras at Mercury Lounge
For five days in March, the New York City sidewalks between the Knitting Factory at Baker Falls and Rockwood Music Hall were flooded day and night with young musicians carrying their own gear.
