How a New York City guitarist turned her fire escape into a wild music venue.
ust call it the stairway to heaven.
Jill Fiore, a guitarist who lives on the Lower East Side, is used to playing downtown venues such as the Bowery Electric and Berlin. But now that they’re shuttered, she’s scheduled gigs at an even more local spot: the fire escape of her second-floor apartment on Essex Street.
Last Saturday, she performed a concert for an audience of about 75 who gathered between Grand and Hester streets and sang along to her cover of “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac. “It was a moment of connection amongst New Yorkers,” Fiore said.
She encouraged attendees to grab to-go drinks at the nearby bars and liquor stores like Delancey Wine, and requested they “please wear a mask or face covering.”
