Fiddle While You Burn

Once again everyone’s making their lists for the annual CMJ indie music marathon here in NYC coming up next week. If you’ve already sprung for a badge it’s worth it since there’s tons of excellent badges only shows going on (some good resources are the CMJ site and Oh My Rockness). But if for whatever reason you don’t have a badge, no worries - there’s still plenty of action to take in with no passes required!

This FWYB posting will be listing all of the CMJ related showcases, parties and after parties that come in over the next few weeks that are either Free or less than $10. We’ll be doing updates throughout the Fest so bookmark this page & keep checking as it will be updated multiple times daily with new info! And feel free to post in the comments or email. anything going on we may have overlooked.

If you're coming in from outside the city a good resource for getting from one point to another is HopStop.
