Free Peasant Show

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Wednesday, May 20th
Time: 7:00pm
Location: The Living Room (154 Ludlow St.)
Cost: Free

"Peasant’s live show has hardly gone unnoticed lately, having shared the stage with Deertick, Phosphorescent, Horse Feathers, Cursive, Emanuel and the Fear and more in the past couple months alone. Fortunately, Peasant is playing one more NYC show before summer kick off…and this one is brought to you for free! Often likened to that of Elliot Smith, Iron and Wine, Rogue Wave, and Bon Iver, Peasant has developed his career from playing obscure coffee shops to having his music played for the masses on mainstream television. With a new single coming out this summer and an LP to follow in the Fall, expect to be hearing much more to come from this blossoming artist." Also on the line up tonight is Midwest Dilemma.
