“Growing Up In The New York Underground: From Glam To Punk” | 29th-30th May | NYC

The mid-1970s was a time when the death of glam and the birth of punk collided in a celebration of glitter and grime, and fourteen-year old Paul Zone had a front-row seat to it all. Growing Up In The New York Underground: From Glam To Punk, presented by Tony Zanetta and Kymara, features more than seventy rare images from Zone’s life in New York’s music underground in the 1970s, and its legendary players.
