This monthly Showcase by City Canyons--the exciting independent label based in downtown Manhattan--has become one of New York's most popular and prestigious ongoing showcases for independent music featuring the top indie artists in New York and regionally.

The Ninth Showcase promises to be finest yet. In addition to Sara Wendt, Matty Charles takes a solo turn offering his unique and sometimes stunningly lovely vision of urban swing while The Velmas, City Canyons most recently signed artists, present a melodic brand of alternative rock that recalls both today's most contemporary and sophisticated alternative rock groups and such legends of yesteryear as the Beatles. Also on the bill are one of the most talented songwriting teams around, Jen Elliott and Anne Husick, appearing as their alter egos, Pippy and Hippy.

The Red Lion is located at 151 Bleecker Street in Manhattan. Admission for the event is only $5.00 at the door. Sara Wendt's new EP, HERE'S US, is available at a very special price to Showcase audiences only.
