HFQ Live: Archives Debut on Net - Download
Fans of our live show will be happy to know that you can now download previously unreleased live performances by HOWARD FISHMAN QUARTET. An HFQ fan from Rochester, MI who is active in the taping and trading community wrote to us asking for access to archival recordings and offered to post them on the site above for the greater good. We happily agreed! The first show is now up -- a recording of our June 14, 2003 show at THE BOTTOM LINE -- and more will follow in the weeks and months to come. Now those of you who've worn out your copies of our three CDs can feast your ears on new and always different HFQ recordings while you wait for our next studio release, just click the link at top. And best of all -- they're free and no lawsuits!
Thursdays with HFQ is Moving to Manhattan!
Beginning this Thursday, October 2, HFQ launches a brand-new residency at THE SLIPPER ROOM on the Lower East Side. Though we are sad to leave PETE'S, the good news is that THE SLIPPER ROOM is another intimate performing space AND it's a bit larger, which will hopefully make things a bit less cramped for folks who want to come down and listen.
Please come down this Thursday to hear the band in its new home and help inaugurate what will hopefully be our weekly NYC home for the foreseeable future. Bring your friends! It's a party!
THE SLIPPER ROOM is located at 167 ORCHARD STREET, NYC. Shows are THURSDAYS, beginning OCT 2 from 8pm to 10pm. The band will feature HF, guitar and vocals; Russell Farhang, violin; Jon Flaugher, bass; Kevin Louis, trumpet. The cost is FREE! Though the venue has encouraged us to charge a $5 cover, we want to try to keep offering a pay-what-you-can weekly show for fans new and old. A $5 donation is suggested but not required.
HFQ Says Thanks
Thank you to everyone who came down and made our final night at PETE'S CANDY STORE so memorable and so special. It really was the best sendoff we could have hoped for (even without poor Russell who, we're happy to report, is on the mend). Thank you for 3+ amazing years.
