Guitar Mash Announces Lineup For The 7th Annual Urban Campfire At City Winery
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Guitar Mash has announced its artist line-up for the 7th Annual Urban Campfire at City Winery on Sunday, November 18th from 12:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Urban Campfire is a unique and immersive musical experience where artists break down the wall between the stage and the house, and invite the audience to perform along with them. The theme for this year's event is "Songs for Change" which focuses on the power of music to generate awareness and bring people together.

Directed by Guitar Mash Artistic Director Mark Stewart (music director for Paul Simon, founding member of the Bang on a Can All-Stars), this year's edition of the New York "campfire" will feature Ani DiFranco, Marc Ribot, Jimmy Vivino, Kat Edmonson, Biodun Kuti and Fernandito Ferrer. More artist leaders TBA. The Guitar Mash House Band is Rob Schwimmer (piano), Zev Katz (bass) and Dave Cossin (drums).

At every Urban Campfire, Guitar Mash projects the lyrics and chords for easy follow-along, and "Chord Coaches" help you get seated and tuned up. Whether or not you have an instrument in hand, you are in for an engaging afternoon with artists as they share the songs and stories that have shaped them.

"At Guitar Mash, there's no exclusivity. There's no 'I'm the performer, you're the audience.' WE are the thing. We are genuinely all in the same room. The thing we create together is unique because of this quality. And it is always fresh and new to both the seasoned performers on stage and the 'big band' (formerly known as 'the audience'). It is nothing less than equality manifest in sound," says Mark Stewart.

Guitar Mash Founder and Executive Producer Rebecca Weller says, "This year's Urban Campfire will be an exciting afternoon where an array of artists and activists will shine a light on what inspired them to create. How did music change them? How can music change us all? How can music change the world? In the spirit of Pete Seeger, we'll be in it all together, using music to unite and inspire change."

Other event highlights include the debut of the winner of the 2nd Annual #MyNYCSong teen songwriting contest presented in collaboration with the Mayor's Office of Media & Entertainment (finalists will be announced on or around Nov 1st; details at guitarmash.org/mynycsong) as well as a performance by the Guitar Mash Teens with Mash Teen Co-Chairs Brandon "Taz" Niederauer, Chloe Hennessee and Evie Dolan.

And back by popular demand, just before the show, when doors open at noon, event attendees will have the opportunity to take part in Musical Speed Dating: lightning rounds of mini master classes with a handful of Guitar Mash artist alumni, to be announced soon.
