About Me:
Since leaving Los Angeles, brothers Heth & Jed have turned on millions to their unique sound as they transform public spaces into sound labs using live looping and an array of effects to explore sonic textures never before heard on the streets of N.Y.C. The brothers perform over 200 street and subway shows annually.
After a few frustrating run-ins with the traditional music industry, and with stacks of homemade CDs gathering dust, Heth and Jed made the radical decision to bring their music directly to the masses. With a leap-of-faith, they began performing on New York City street corners, subway stations, and wherever else they could connect with a live audience. To their surprise street performing turned out to be just the beginning as crowds of stressed-out commuters rallied around them, cheering them on, subscribing to their mailing lists, and buying some of those stockpiled CDs—40,000 and counting.
In 2011 Heth and Jed signed with Soft Skull Press for the nationwide release of their memoir BUSKERS: The On-the-Streets, In-the-Trains, Off-the-Grid Memoir of Two New York City Street Musicians (available wherever books are sold).
In Buskers, Heth and Jed recount their turbulent, drug- and crime-filled adolescence in the nowhere-land of Livingston, New Jersey, their valiant attempts to achieve rock 'n' roll success through traditional channels, and their unexpected path to circumventing the outmoded music industry. They divulge fascinating details about the technical and legal aspects of street performance, New York busking culture, and the lives of their fellow troubadours.
A world of possibilities opens up when the brothers take it to the streets, proving the value of their music to themselves and anyone who'll listen. Read their story, and your commute will never be the same.
