DIY Programming “On-The-Side”

The producers behind the acclaimed Seaport Music series of outdoor indie rock concerts at South Street Seaport, are bringing a bit of summer, indoors for a collection of shows dubbed “On-The-Side.” The shows are slated to begin in February at a new DIY venue dubbed “@SEAPORT.”

The @SEAPORT space is a two-level former retail space that offers basic staging,lighting, video projection and backline for bands and performers.The goal for “On-The-Side” is to translate the successful vibe of the summer into smaller,year-round shows, and to provide artists with a venue in which to try out new material and/or new collaborative projects artists from other bands.

Given the experimental natureof the project, the Seaport Music team is turning to the DIY model, which has proven highly successful in Brooklyn and in smaller music shops. Similar to the free summer Seaport Music shows, “On-The-Side” shows are slated to begin at 7 p.m. The after-work/living-room concept is a place to kickback with friends, and hear free live performances. The venue is appropriate for music, comedy and video performances.
