Welcome to the LC Community

What is “LC”?

Local Correspondents is a supportive community for independent artists based in Brooklyn. Weekly showcase series and open mic nights bring together an extremely talented and diverse group of performers.

We offer a helping hand to artists that have just moved to the NYC area with advice, tips, and opportunities to play. Many consider us to be a warm urban family. At the same time, we maintain high standards. We look for talented songwriters with unique voices, who care about the community and respect their peers. We have built our reputation on this and it allows us to introduce many new musicians to the local scene.

History

Local Correspondents was founded by Tanya Buziak, Larry Hyland, Greg Tuohey, and Jessi Robertson in April of 2005. It started as a monthly showcase at Bar4, then grew to include weekly showcases at Bar4 and Matchless, and monthly showcases at Rockwood Music Hall.

The current team includes Hyland, Tuohey and Robertson, in addition to Niko Kaparos, Paul Basile, Peter Abbruscato, Kevin Johnston, Greg Thomas and Lara Ewen.

The 5th Annual LC Fest will be held May 17 – 22, featuring short sets from over 60 local acts.
