Solo guitarist Glenn Roth and singer-songwriter Brian Larney share the bill at Best Video Film & Cultural Center on Fri., Nov. 24. The show starts at 7 PM and the cover is $10.

Glenn Roth is not your typical commuter from Connecticut. Instead of a briefcase, he carries a gig bag. His workspace is the vaulted splendor of Grand Central Terminal or the tunnels and platforms of the New York City subway system. A literal underground sensation, Glenn is a licensed performer in the MTAs Music under New York program, playing for the most distracted and demanding audience in the world: legions of workers rushing to jobs throughout the Big Apple. And his fingers work magic, creating a soundscape of compelling melodies that invite them to leave the city rush behind on an aural escape.

Haunted by hooks and good old-fashioned songcraft, Brian Larney is an eclectic, non-stop music-maker. The Connecticut native splits his time performing as a solo acoustic act and as the front-man of The Brian Larney Band. He's an alternative folk-rock singer-songwriter with an honest and thoughtful style that has been described as “quirky, earnest, and vulnerable.” His songs are organic spoonfuls of classic pop and folk, naturally sweet, non-GMO, without the sugar crash; his style hearkens back to the days of Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles, and maybe a bit of Partridge Family. His sound is as influenced by pop songs of the early to mid twentieth century as it is by the contemporary artists he’s often compared to.
