/ PR Agency: Press Release Point
This ten-month series, commencing March 10th, will pair acoustic performances by guest musicians with in-depth conversations on the muses that inspire the songwriting trade.

New York, NY, March 11, 2011 -- The General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York, located at 20 West 44th St between 5th & 6th Avenues in Manhattan, is proud to announce a new cultural series of live music and discussion entitled “Muse & Music”. The ten-month series, co-created by General Society members Joseph and Donna McElroy, will begin on Thursday, March 10th at 7 p.m.

Endeavoring to go beyond the mechanics of writing a song, the aim of Muse & Music is to have the artist discuss and share the trade, craft or passion that touches their muse and inspires their music. Each hour-long program will feature a live, acoustic performance from a selected songwriter, along with an in-depth conversation between musicians and a guest host from the music industry.

Our first performer will be Christopher Paul Stelling, a Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter with an uncommon mastery for fusing storytelling and musicianship, accentuated with his dynamic style of finger-picking. Guest host Iman Lababedi, rock critic and co- editor of www.rocknycliveandrecorded.com, will lead a discussion with Christopher to discover the inspiration for his music.

The Muse & Music series continues The General Society’s tradition of hosting cultural lectures dating back to 1837. Reservations for any lecture, or the series, are suggested. Advance ticket purchases are available by phone at 212-840-1840 or via paypal to music@generalsociety.org.

The General Society of Mechanics & Tradesmen of the City of New York (GSMT) was founded in 1785 by the skilled craftsmen of the City. Today, this 225-year old organization continues to serve and improve the quality of life of the people of the City of New York through its educational, cultural and philanthropic programs which include its Mechanics’ Institute and the General Society Library.
