Michael Dorf is uniquely suited to create the impressive and eclectic rosters he assembles each year as a founder of two seminal NYC music venues: the Knitting Factory, which he started in 1987 and sold in 2002, and City Winery, the venue he founded in 2008 in NYC, that now has locations in
Chicago and Nashville, and will expand to Atlanta and
Boston this year. For nearly thirty years, he has programmed for stages across the globe.
Working alongside him as an Associate Producer for the show is Shlomo Lipetz, City Winery's
National Programming Director. For the past 8 years, Lipetz has been overseeing the musical programming in all of the City Winery's locations.
