New York Magazine obsessively chronicles the ideas, people, and cultural events that are forever reshaping our world. Part of Vox Media since November 2019, the beloved and influential New York brands include the groundbreaking magazine New York, which is published biweekly in print, and six thriving verticals: Intelligencer, delivering national news and sharp commentary on politics, business, technology, and media; The Cut, covering style, self, culture, and power; Vulture, the premier site for culture news, criticism and service; The Strategist, dedicated to shopping the internet smartly; Curbed, covering cities and city life; and Grub Street, home to food news and authoritative restaurant criticism.

Hailing from South Florida, Neon Bull consists of high school friends Josh Perper (vocals), Mikey Saltzman (drums), Daniel Bolja (guitar), Mark Rozencwaig (bass), Niles Boothe (piano/vocals), Drew Morris (saxophone), and writer Sebastian Martinez. With influences in the 2000s alternative rock scene such as Saint Motel and Cage the Elephant, Neon Bull takes the local alt rock sound to a new level with a revolving lineup of featured singers and performers. The concept is to have a variety of voices form a cohesive sound that reflects their alternative rock roots and classic rock influences.

Neon Bull’s first EP, Commercial Blvd was a self-produced album featuring all original compositions. On the track Forever a Dream, Neon Bull is joined by female vocalist Natalia Hauser to create their first collaborative duet. In preparation for the EP Release, Neon Bull performed with a focus on community activism by participating in charity and social events.

ric Eckhart never took the conventional path.

His formative musical years were spent heading a New Wave/Rock band in his working-class West Virginia hometown before an early mid-life crisis saw Eric leave his job, family and all his possessions and move to Ireland to start completely anew. The results were immediate.

His 2006 Irish debut album, ‘Lost and Found’ won the hearts of critics and fans alike which led to appearances on radio, TV and numerous tours and playing support for Broken Social Scene, Fionn Regan, Ocean Colour Scene and many others.

Once again searching for new horizons, Eric picked up sticks and moved to Berlin in 2008 to begin work on his critically acclaimed follow up album, ‘This is where it starts’. Eric and his band successfully toured across Germany and Austria receiving radio airplay and making numerous live radio performances.

Exploring models of how to work as an independent musician, Eric organized a pioneering project in 2012 that brought 100 independent artists together for one week to record, mix, design, promote, film and release his third album ‘Do-It-Together’ in a public space, in front of a live audience and live streamed and all without spending any money.

Fatherhood gave Eric time to slow down and focus on writing about his experiences as an independent artist and doing workshops and talks on the art of songwriting and how to help create your own alternative music industry at Berlin Music Week.

2017 saw Eric’s formal return to recording, this time working alone in a former WWII bunker turned recording studio in the heart of Berlin. Playing all the instruments, engineering, mixing and producing gave Eric a chance to truly come into his own as a songwriter and artist.

The result is Eric’s stunning new album, ‘Luminous’ due for release May  2019.
