Bruce Markow

The '00's are the new '60s, reawakened, alive and kickin', when Bruce brings his show to the Yip as the featured performer. On Thursday nights, Joel Landy of the cable TV show Songs of Freedom hosts a relaxed music and networking event for artists, activists and dreamers. Bruce will play an early long set and a later short set, with other events interspersed.

Affordable coffee, tea, sodas goodies to eat are available.

Subways: 6 to Bleecker Street F/V to Second Avenue or Broadway/Lafayette

R/W to Prince Street

From an email: Yes, it’s the Yippies! Join the fracas and be part of a recording for TV.

I’ll do two sets, one short and one long, with other events interspersed. Given the nature of the series, I’ll probably sing more political/social commentary material than typically, but if you know me at all you know it will also be positive and steeped in the inspiring things of life. All in all, expect so many surprises that I will be surprised along with you.

From newyorkology.com: "1960s and '70s counterculture icons the Yippies, or the Youth International Party, [opened] a museum on Bleecker Street, according to The Villager, which alternately compares the museum to a Yippie version of a Hard Rock Cafe, "Cheers," or Smithsonian."

This is an installment of a new weekly cultural series at the Yippie Museum. It is hosted by Joel Landy, who says the "goal is to give a home to topical music and create a space where artists come to practice their craft and synergize with other artists. The hope is that Thursday night at the Café will become a center of creative energy and a safe place where artists, activists and audiences can find their voice and each other. In addition, I videotape the Thursday performances for later viewing on the Songs of Freedom television program, seen throughout New York City and on the internet every week."
