Why New York City?
The depth of musical talent in New York is absolutely unmatched.A big part of the unique appeal of the Unconvention is the carefully-curated pairing of fantastic local musicians with visiting artists. Many times, the artists and the musicians haven't met until a few moments before their set, and it's this spontaneity and verve that make the festival such a unique and memorable experience.
