About this event

🎸Artist: Polish guitarist Raphael Rogiński will perform solo guitar arrangements of music by The Velvet Underground, the legendary rock band known for avant-garde experimentation, dark street poetry, and drone music.)

This is the first time Raphael has performed this arrangement. He’s chosen NYC for the debut because it’s the physical and spiritual home of the Velvet Underground; and this space, nicknamed "The Bunker," specifically because it has a deep connection to the musicians from the band. (Lou Reed himself spent many long nights sitting at the room’s dining table, alongside William Burroughs, Andy Warhol, and many others.)

🏘️ Setting:

"The Bunker" at 222 Bowery
was famously the home of Beat Generation writer William S. Burroughs.

🌟The Vibe: A historic, intimate, unique landmark space.

NOT a sleek, modern concert hall.

🌟The Experience: Today primarily an arts archive, community space, and gallery.

When they do host concerts or readings, it feels more like being in a private studio than a standard music venue.
