Performances

In these times of a narrowing set of corporatized avenues for artists to gain public attention, the monopolization of virtually every singular radio station being sucking into larger platforms with profits over promotion, EVR remains committed to its original cause: a grassroots source of independent minded DJs and programmers that serves its community. Free of dictated playlists, our hosts come from a wide and diverse background, schooled and deeply knowledgeable about their passion. Come through June 4th and meet some of the station’s DJs, and learn more about the station’s commitment to amplify the East Village identity as a crossroads of a myriad of fused cultures, revolutionary ideologies in art, music, film, poetry and more. EVR looks to focus itself on this legacy with a freeform approach to radio that will blur boundaries and take cues from the great FM stations of the past, and amplify the mission of the few truly independent minded stations that exist in the present. Here we will thread the connections between post-punk, free jazz, minimal techno, hip-hop, global beat, soundtrack music, spoken-word, garage punk, pop, experimental, DIY, reggae, dub, and yet-to-be-christened genres.
