Soundcheck Goes to Staten Island

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Staten Island is the home of some of the New York’s finest, and perhaps least-appreciated cultural venues, including the Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Historic Richmond Town and numerous outdoor gardens, which make for stunning concert settings. Soundcheck hones in the homegrown talent of the city’s greenest borough, and undercovers some of its hidden musical treasures, including the Mandolin Brothers guitar shop and the Curtis High School Guitar Ensemble.
