HETH AND JED IN HUFFINGTON POST "BUSKER BROTHERS."
Heth and Jed Weinstein have been a part of the underground music scene in New York for about five years. Now, the two are writing a memoir about their experience busking in the city's subway.
The Los Angeles-born brothers have plenty of experience - and a large following - above the ground, but they keep coming back to the subway. The duo, who play community rock "for the people, by the people" auditioned to be a part of Music Under New York, the official program for subway buskers, in 2006.
Their memoir, which deals in part with the clash between different performers underground, will be released in the spring of 2011.
MYSTERY WRITER PEGGY EHRHART WROTE A SWEET ARTICLE ABOUT US
Heth and Jed are Heth and Jed Weinstein, a guitar and bass duo who make a living busking in the New York City subway.
They earned a spot in the MTA’s Music Under New York program out of a field of more than 400 applicants. MUNY continues to provide them with sanctioned performance locations within the subway system. Busking isn’t for the faint of heart though. I caught their act under Herald Square a few weeks ago, watching as the Peruvian pan pipes guys who had the spot before them packed up, then watching—with a certain amount of apprehension—as Heth and Jed eyed a couple of sinister-looking dudes lurking nearby. Apparently the New York underground can be a very territorial place and, despite the MTA’s sanction, Heth and Jed have had to fight for their spot on occasion.
Their sound is like nothing you’ve ever heard before. What you see is a guitar and bass. What you hear—what they call their “Jambient sound”—uses live looping and an array of effects to explore sonic textures never before heard in the streets or subways of New York City.
Recently Gothamist.com asked them to write about their exploits in a feature called “Tourist” (a tour diary). As a result of that article, the duo has just signed a contract with Soft Skull Press for Buskers: The on the Streets, in the Trains, off the Grid Memoir of Two New York City Street Musicians. So now they’re writers too!
There’s lots more, including videos, on their website. And if you live in the NYC area, check out their performance schedule there too.
I asked Heth and Jed for some words of wisdom to pass along and here’s what Heth told me:
“In terms of inspiration, Jed and I feel most alive when we are sharing our music with the community. The mere presence of art in public areas changes the temperature of the room. The connection to audience (our neighbors) is what inspires us.”
Heth and Jed – Live at the Staten Island Ferry
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — One of the great things about New York City is the ubiquitous street music. In recent years a number of musicians have moved beneath the street — and have come to specialize in doing public performances on subway platforms. “Jambient” musical brothers Heth and Jed Weinstein, on guitar and bass, respectively, are members of this tradition. Their website indicates that they enjoy interacting with the public in this kind of setting — it’s exposure and they bring a smile to people who may not be entirely enthused about the MTA’s latest fare hike or service cut. On Sunday, December 13, the brothers set up shop in the Ferry Terminal in St. George, Staten Island. If you like the idea of brothers playing music, if you like the pop sensibilities — underscored by good singing and playing — of folk rockers America, if you like the spacy, prog rock feel of Syd Barrett, odds are you’ll like Heth and Jed. Their hooks are every bit as catchy as America’s best material — and their approach as fresh and quirky as early Pink Floyd. En route to cover a story I happened on to their performance and hastily powered up a small, handheld videocam. The unplanned shoot may not win any prizes for production values — I didn’t have a tripod handy — but the music makes it all okay. To see the video click HERE.

Mumbai Mirror: Music To Go
By Deepali Junjappa
Deepali Junjappa chats up subway buskers, Heth and Jed Weinstein, at New York City
Our sound is Jambient, it's ambient music with a jam side, a little rock 'n' roll with Hendrix,” explains Heth Weinstein as he tunes his guitar for yet another gig at a New York City subway. Heth and Jed Weinstein are a brave new sibling Indie-pop duo who've turned public spaces in New York City into atmospheric sound labs with their blend of Space Rock, Californian Rock n Roll, ambient electronica and live looping techniques.
I first heard the duo at the Union Square Subway, (a vibrant station where students, activists, musicians come do their stuff) and it was their guitar that locked me in. I have no words to describe that kind of sound but it felt surreal, as they played their alltime favourite ‘Future memory’. It was that kind of song, you want to put everyone onto, spread it like wildfire, and go crazy listening to it. Their honest-to-heart, non-linear lyrics created a fantastic hybrid of contemporary rock that's easy on the ears and kind to the soul. I was bought.
Subway bonanza
You can't miss them if you've been to NYC recently. They've performed at all prime public spots, from Grand Central station, Union Square, even Harlem.
They are in the process of penning their memoir, titled Pass the hat, a tribute to street music and subway buskers, as they like to describe themselves.
The brothers grew up in Los Angeles, until their parents, both artists, moved the family to West Orange in the mid-'90s. Now they sport a grungy appearance and live on the Lower East Side of Manhattan and perform in any one of the public spaces that NYC offers its many talented artists.
“It was rough going at first. It was dicey. We were broke, out of work. But then we got lucky. New York took us in: people here support their local artistes,” says Jed the younger of the two.
Absolutely. If there's one spot on the planet that reveres originality, sincerity, quirkiness, it's New York City. NYC loves you if you dare to be you. That got these buskers going and probably the millions of transiting commuters. I haven't met a soul here who's boring and haven't come across such amazing music in years, at least not while waiting for a train.
Words worthy
When Heth became part of Music Under New York (a collective for subway singers) two years ago, they were already a hit. The station's mezzanine is their favorite jamming spot and it's here that their music takes flight, echoes off the walls creating underground magic for weary commuters.
So what makes them special and different from the thousand other street performers in NYC? They fanatically believe in converting a random public spot into a high voltage acoustic studio, mixing natural ambient sounds with sonic space rock.
Their dreamy lyrics of their album Between the In and out intentionally drifts in and out of the listener's awareness, creating lasting effects on the consciousness while piecing together sounds and thoughts.
This album has been recorded and co-produced by Jamie Candiloro (of R.E.M) and Ryan Adams (of Eagles) and has sold more than ten thousand copies.
Think Floyd
Who are the group's influences? I’d say Floyd and Jack Johnson. Spot on, but on further prodding, I learn that they include Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Pink Floyd, The Doors and Translator.
The vocals are soft and remind you of Eagles Rocker Frey Henley, but Heth who's the singer of the two, does sound earnest, the lyrics a blend of ambiguous feelings which are intended to drift in and out of the listener's consciousness and not entirely drown him in hard textured melody.
Their first song ‘Ballad of Kate’ starts off and for two minutes sounds a bit too Floydian. But later their music goes on to another level and follows a mellow story-telling like approach: 'Kate, she calls my name/ she whispers it's time to get up/ she never lets me down, she never leaves me all alone.'
But the song that really gets me is ‘Future Memory’. It's as if they’ve blended their quirky sounds, fermented all their major influences and arrived at an understanding of their piece.
I quickly purchase a CD after complimenting them. Their humilty embarrasses me.
Their Album Between the In and out will sub-consciously stay with me long after I've boarded the train. These guys are rock solid. They know how to turn technology around, assemble pieces from different decades creating a blue print that's almost their own.
P.S: “It's jambient. It's our genre, we are the creators,” Heth laughs, as I run to catch my train. I watch them from the closed doors and deep inside I know that I'll be back for more.
If there is one spot on the planet that reveres originality, sincerity, quirkiness, it's New York City
As part of MTA’s Music Under New York program, the Weinstein brothers, Heth (guitar)and Jed (bass), are continually bringing live, innovative performances to various public spaces. Whether it’s performing at an intimate venue, braving cold street corners or filling subway halls with their uniquely layered tunes, the California and New Jersey raised siblings have proven to be in this for the love of the music since bailing on full-band efforts in 2003. “We had some guitarist issues in other bands so we decided to just do it ourselves,” says Heth, a former drummer, with a smile. The duo’s live performance is an ongoing experiment of live looping, layering and singing that delivers a sound somewhere between Keller Williams, Jack Johnson and Pink Floyd (while some songs border on pop-rock, others are much less structured, offering more of a trance-like canvas of sound). Check out Between the In and the Out, produced by Jamie Candiloro (Ryan Adams, R.E.M.), for a one-stop introduction to the group’s self-described “jambient rock.” www.hethandjed.com

Underground Sound - NY Metro by patrick arden / metro new york
GRAND CENTRAL. Lorenzo LaRoc recalls when the police wouldn’t let him play the violin in public.
Between 1936 and ’70, buskers couldn’t perform legally here without a license, but many flouted the law. When Mayor John Lindsay lifted the ban, LaRoc said, police found other ways to stop the music.
“They weren’t happy about it,” he said. “I’d get summonses for soliciting funds, for whatever they could hit you with.”
In 1985 NYC Transit started a pilot program for approved subway buskers called Music Under New York. Two years later it made the program official. LaRoc, who was in that first legit class and went on to play with Sheila E. and Tito Puente, will be a judge today at the 20th anniversary auditions.
Each year about 70 of 200 applicants make the tryouts, explained Lydia Bradshaw, who runs the program for the MTA. While anyone can play in the subway, the program gives about 100 musicians dibs on the system’s best spots.
Yesterday afternoon brothers Heth and Jed Weinstein set up their amps and assorted wah-wah pedals in the Grand Central subway station. An open guitar case contained their two CDs and two crumpled bills. When Heth became part of Music Under New York two years ago, he was already playing in the subway. “It’s enabled me to be a musician,” he said, describing the pair’s sound as “jambient.” “It’s ambient music with a jam side, a little rock ’n’ roll and Hendrix,” he explained. The station’s mezzanine is their favorite spot. “The platforms are very lucrative, but I wanted to have more of a show,” Heth said. “That comes from being able to do your full set without a train whizzing by.”
The pair grew up in Los Angeles, until their parents, both artists, moved the family to West Orange in the mid-90s. Occasionally they’ll see someone from their New Jersey high school walking past. These days they live on the Lower East Side.
“My dad got strict in his old age, so he doesn’t really dig what we’re doing,” Heth said. “‘Physician, not musician,’ he always says.
“It was rough going at first. We didn’t have Music Under New York behind us, so we’d just come out here. It was dicey. I was broke, out of work. I was lucky New York took me in: People here support their local artists.”
If you go:
• The 20th annual auditions for Music Under New York take place today from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Vanderbilt Hall of Grand Central Terminal. Veteran musicians will take the stage from noon to 1.
• Heth and Jed play at 5 p.m. today in the Herald Square-34th Street station.

Heth and Jed - The Hardest Working Jambient Musicians On The NYC Subway
A while back I was checking out a new HDTV channel called ‘RaveHD’ which broadcasts live music performances in a very well produced format. As HD not only has superior picture, but also far superior sound than regular television, its a great use of the new medium. Concerts I would never watch on regular TV can be riveting in HD.
One of the shows RaveHD features is called ‘City Sessions’ and features local working musicians from different cities, who each play one of their songs in a soundstage provided by Rave for quality recording.
One night I was watching City Sessions and caught an act known as ‘Heth and Jed’. They are just a bassist and a guitarist. Think ‘The Edge’ goes solo ambient. In fact, Heth and Jed (Weinstein, they’re brothers - Heth is the blond one) describe themselves as ‘Jambient’.
Bands like to think they create their own genre. I had a band in California, and we decided that we didn’t fit into any convention and called our sound ‘Mystic Vox’. I think thats part of H&J’s appeal for me - they are originally from Los Angeles, and although they also grew up in New Jersey, their sound and appearance for me is very Californian.
I liked Heth and Jed’s music alot - apart from their grunge-y appearance, they had a very mellow and listenable sound. About 2 months later, I was walking from the S Train to Grand Central and heard some very familiar music coming from the GCT subway gates. Sure enough, it was Heth and Jed, performing the song I had heard on Rave - “Desert Sun”. I bought a CD from them and told them I really liked their City Sessions performance, which they still hadn’t even seen yet, and wondered if it had ever aired at all. I told them it was on about 10 times a week.
They were really nice guys, very friendly and appreciative of the other fans who stopped to talk with them between tracks. They are also featured in a new documentary film about street performers titled “Playing For Keeps“:
I encourage you to check out Heth and Jed’s tracks above, and definitely seek them out on the subway. For Metro-North riders, they will be in Grand Central Terminal next Tuesday, April 29th, near the 4, 5, 6 subway trains, at 3 PM, See their calendar for other locations and times.

A few weeks ago we mentioned our latest feature, Tourist. Fittingly, the first New York band to write about their tour for us...never even left New York.
Heth and Jed are a couple of musicians who you may also call buskers - though they'll bring their gear indoors briefly to play Mo Pitkins on August 30th (see full details after the jump), you've probably seen them rocking underground at some point. Their shows around the city, as well as the internet, have allowed them to reach out to many - gaining a fan base, selling cd's, living off what they love. Below is a tour diary of their more recent shows, which brought them all the way to 34th Street!

"9 OUT OF 10 RATING"- Platterpicks
With speak-to-your-soul vocals, Heth and Jed’s “Between the In & the Out” is an album those who hear it won’t soon forget. The opening song is the title track and has a chilling and spacey tone to it making listeners possibly question the remainder of the album. “Ballad of Kate” does a total reversal of rhythm with its slow guitar strands and storytelling lyrics like, “Kate, she calls my name, she whispers its time to get up….she never lets me down she never leaves me all alone.” “Desert Sun” is a track one can picture hearing at the conclusion of a movie, where the main character is driving toward the unknown, with lines like, “Oceans worlds apart carry me off to you, it’s a decision knowing your heart, marry me off with you.” The vocalist’s husky voice is hypnotizing and can take listeners to a laid-back place of pure relaxation. “Ladder” is an instrumental song that continues to calm the record down and is quite soothing to the ear. Heth and Jed’s “Between the In & the Out” is an appeasing set of songs that can help listeners sit back and forget about their problems.
Sari N. Kent - PLATTERPICKS (Nov 2, 2006)I first heard these guys performing on a subway platform in new york city, and I must confess that I had thought music of this sort had been lost forever in that space warp of time that was the late sixties and early seventies.
Perhaps there was a fringe element that consisted of myself and a handful of others during the decade of the eighties, but this was post millennium 2006, and here they were...
These are a duo that creates music through clever use of technology. There are echoes of early pink floyd, tangerine dream, and perhaps a smattering of grateful dead just to season the recipe that cooks and simmers in the minds of these two musicians. The next time I saw them was at the Bitter End on Bleecker street, and all I can say is that they did not disappoint. Perhaps the best comment I can share is from a friend who was present at the Bitter End as they started the first song in their set "that's all coming from just one guy?" to which I responded "Yea, the bass player hasn't started playing yet"....
So having heard these guys play on subway platforms and at that wonderful place on Bleeker street that is the bitter end, I was not about to miss their final performance of their 2006 tour at Mo'Pitkins, another great place that also has the virtue of serving some wonderful food. Just go there and have the cuban reuben, don't ask, just go and try it. Anyway, I digress to odd and sundry places and have yet to come to the point, THESE GUYS ROCK! They are the authentic, real deal, and their use of technology is both fresh and and the same time reminiscent of days gone by. But I won't burden you with any further use of words to explain what can only be heard, I'll just give you this link to their site, and post these pictures I took while at Mo'Pitkins...
Unsigned Artists: Success Without a Record Label
Unsigned artists have a greater chance of success today than ever before. On one hand, composing and performing songs without the shadow of a struggling record label hanging overhead leaves musicians free to express themselves instinctively from the soul. On the other, it requires a lot of work behind the scenes, but can offer can offer greater rewards in return.
Brooklyn-based band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah broke through in 2005 as a result of the commotion started online among a community of blogs and music sites, such as Pitchfork Media. As a result, their self-financed, self-released and self-titled debut album has sold more than 200,000 copies. Band bassist Tyler Sargent explained to Paste magazine (12/6/06) why the band has remained unsigned, despite their success: "Because there are so many new avenues opening up these days...if you have good songs and the right relationships you can just totally bypass this whole label system. Which is just great for independent music...and this way, we get 80 percent, or at least a larger chunk of (our earnings). And it just makes more sense."
The truth is, the major label end of the music industry is in "turmoil," as noted by CBS Evening News (5/28/07), as "CD sales plummeted 20 percent the first three months of this year." In the same piece, Wilco's lead singer Jeff Tweedy stated that "Technology has evened the playing field. If the artist can gain more power over the situation--over the economics of the situation--why wouldn't they take it?"
While the Internet has become the most vital and effective marketing tool, taking music to the streets has become the bread an butter for many acts. On a smaller scale, Heth & Jed have made a living off of the CD sales and tips they've received playing the streets and subways of New York City. In their Gothamist tour diary (8/14/06), they revealed: "We’ve sold over 10,000 CD’s this year. One fan at a time...We came and we conquered and we made some money to live another day as musicians, doing what we love."
Sony's Connect music site did a feature on unsigned Fullerton, CA band Cold War Kids who "have risen to the top of the hipster rock heap through their relentless touring." In the related interview, lead singer Nathan Willett talked about the process of peddling their homemade EPs during their non-stop tours: "Basically (the EPs) were available at our shows at best, and we ran out of them a lot, and it was kind of a bummer because we couldn't put the effort into being at home and getting more made. But it was cool because we had a limited amount of them and people seemed to want them, and we were surprised that people wanted them as much as they did."
There are no rules to follow when it comes to unsigned bands promoting their music. From utilizing their fan base to promote local live shows, new releases and merchandise, to reaching new fans outside via online communities like Facebook and social music sites such as Echoboost, the extra effort will only aid them along the way. As long as they have quality songs, the talent to perform them live and a dedicated work ethic to spread the music, nothing can stand in their way. Lathum - Echoboost (Sept 10, 2007)

晚上的地鐵站，兩個拿著吉他的男人．
月台上的乘客不多，三三兩兩地散落著．
空心吉他發出了聲響，電吉他和音效產生器也開始配合．
旋律，沒有歌聲的純音樂，緩慢，低調，但是實在地回蕩在這地下月台．
我很少會被在這裡演奏的表演團體給吸引，但是，這個不同．
我不會形容音樂，在我的標準裡面只是在很難聽，有點難聽，難聽但是可以接受，普通好聽，好聽，以及很好聽之間徘徊．
他們的音樂，普通好聽．

Co-produced by Jamie Candiloro (R.E.M., The Eagles, Ryan Adams), “Between the In and the Out” is a pop-rock masterpiece composed in the great metropolis of New York City. The duo explores spaces with ambient post-rock electronica and then dives in head first with great pop-rock harmonies. These two brothers surprise at every corner with their dynamics and clever songwriting. Pick it up or even better check them out live at some rusted club or bar in the Big Apple.

Heth Weinstein and Jed Weinstein are two brothers with a lot of dedication. through herculean busking efforts they have managed to sell over 10,000 copies of their debut CD Clean. Try "Sunday Driver" (MP3) a blissful trip through Eno landscapes or "Walking Away From Heaven" which explores more straightforward melodic pop.Heth & Jed play a subway near you someday soon or as the MTA might say: If uou see them, say something.
Jason - One Louder (Sep 13, 2005)
THE BAND: Heth Weinstein and Jed WeinsteinTHE HISTORY: Brothers Heth and Jed Weinstein are a New York City-based duo. Between the In and Out is their debut collaboration, co-produced by Jamie Candiloro (R.E.M. and Ryan Adams).THE REVIEW: Between the In and Out is an impressive CD similar to Heth's 2004 release Clean (reviewed here), which was a solid pop effort from the New York City singer/songwriter. Part acoustic based pop and part ambient instrumental, Between the In and Out successfully balances itself between both styles creating a dreamy pop atmosphere. Just like Clean, Between the In and Out contains some magnificent pop gems, such as 'Ballad of Kate' and the absolutely fantastic 'Walking Away From Heaven'. And when Heth and Jed are not impressing the listener with their great songwriting abilities they are showing off their excellent instrumental skills on 'Ladder' and 'Sunday Driver'.
Tonydoug Wright - Erasing Clouds (Dec 4, 2005)
Last night at Penn Station, while waiting for my train to come in, there was this band playing. Not unusual in and of itself, but they sounded quite good. Heth & Jed. Sort of a Guster/Toad the Wet Sprocket/Pink Floyd mix-- They had a bunch of CDs for sale, so I (and 4 or 5 other people within the 5 minutes I had to listen) bought one.
My favorite song (sic) is Desert Sun, which is available from their website or from archives.scovetta.com.
I have a big problem with the RIAA suing kids and people who don't even own computer, but I support artists themselves. I don't mind paying for music, but I refuse to be ripped off.
Michael Scovetta - Reviews of the World (Mar 22, 2006)
" Angels and sinners are equal at Christmas time" (lyric from Christmas..Sweeter Than Wine by Heth and Jed).... It's kinda poigniant. What's really neat is that usually when you hear holiday music put out by big stars... a lot of it is just crap or it's re-branded stuff or it's sappy stuff. But that's a Christmas song that's not your typical Christmas song and that's why I wanted to play it. I thought it really said something and really kinda knocked home what I was getting at.
C.C. chapman - Accident Hash Pdcast #85 (Dec 2, 2005)
Underground Sound
Musicians in the subway are like coffee from the corner bodega. It’s a hit or miss kind of a deal. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes…well, sometimes it’s just not. This week, we hit on the platform of the L train at Union Square, with Heth Weinstein.
Heth has been at it since he was just five years old, either strumming, drumming, or singing, so he says. Most recently Heth has been concentrating on guitar and vocals with his band, which consists of he and his brother Jed, who plays bass and does back up vocals. The duo teamed up and recorded a pop-rock album called “Clean” in 2003, co-writing all the songs. “Clean” could be associated with a “Goo-Goo Dolls” type of sound. The album was co-produced by Jamie Candiloro who is currently working with the brothers again on their next album which is due to come out this March and still remains nameless. Candiloro has also produced albums for R.E.M. and Ryan Adams, among others. This next album is again pop/rock with maybe a hint of folksiness and an intertwining of ambient sound. It’s a truly interesting and beautiful sculpture of sound and was attracting an extremely diverse crowd on the L train platform. The duo attributes this musical evolution to their time playing in the subway and on the streets. “By playing on the street, the sound got more global and more inclusive…my music has changed tremendously,” says Heth.
Heth and Jed’s childhood began like many talented musicians’…they were born to musician parents. “Our father was a musician, our mother was a musician, my father played with the Philharmonic in California and he gave up pretty early on and we just kept going, it was in our blood,” says Heth. After their father quit playing, he relocated the family to New Jersey where he started to book talent for a theater. Jed recalls this time and said, “I think probably the biggest influence for me, I think for him (Heth) too, was when we moved to New Jersey and my Dad was a promoter for one theater there… we literally grew up back stage, watching the greatest artists ever…from string quartets, and modern dance to all the great jazz people...that vibe and the energy really made us want to do that….seeing the great people do it.
Throughout this memorable childhood, the two studied violin and then began to explore different instruments. Heth picked up the guitar, the drums and worked on his vocals. Jed studied jazz trumpet at William Patterson University and then branched into bass and vocals. “After you play music for a long time, you can kind of understand what needs to be done on another instrument,” says Jed.
The two have also been involved in a variety of other musical groups and have produced two other CD’s while they were in a band called Stately Wayne Manor. Manor took them to the heavier, grungier side of music. Heth also used to play on tours and records with the pop/punk band, “Dirt Bike Annie.”
Heth says that with this next album, “I don’t know what we’re going to do…we would really like to get some distribution, we might end up moving more towards established labels that have that kind of “reach”….but we haven’t really been looking for labels because we are having a career…our motto is “go out and get the fans”, not wait for a career to appear, but to have one…because then you’re waiting to be sanctioned and you’re waiting to be recognized, I just think it’s frustrating that people wait all their lives for something and they’d rather not reach for it.”
Heth and Jed often play at The Delancy, CB’s Gallery and the Apocalypse Lounge. The Apocalypse Lounge is on 3rd street, between avenues A and B, in Manhattan, the admission is free and they generally play there every third Friday of the month. Look for updates on the record and the show dates on their website: www.hethmusic.com
