The Living Room to broadcast shows on XM Radio

Captured live at The Living Room on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the first few broadcasts will feature performances by such well known acts as: The Little Willies, Martha Wainwright, Joseph Arthur, The Wood Brothers, Marah and Chris Thile of Nickel Creek. Along with a fifteen minute emerging artist slot, each episode will also include an interview with the headlining act by noted musicologist Teri Landi.

“The Living Room has such a comfortable, intimate atmosphere that the performances continuously reflect just that. The performers feel very at home here,” says club owner and show producer Jennifer Gilson. “The XM show seemed like a natural progression for us. We’re excited that we can share these performances with a much wider audience,” adds Steve Rosenthal, co-owner of The Living Room and Grammy Award winning producer of the program. The show is also produced by award winning producer Darin Hallinan.

The bi-weekly show, "From the Living Room to the Loft” will debut on Sunday, July 23rd on XM's premier channel for today’s best singer/songwriters, The Loft (XM channel 50). Encore broadcasts of "From the Living Room to the Loft" will air throughout the week. Complete scheduling information is available online at www.xmradio.com as well as www.livingroomny.com
