The Beat Music Series is a monthly poetry and live music event held at Silvana every second Tuesday of the month, 8PM-10PM. The two-hour set promises to feature an eclectic mix of hip hop, jazz, soul, poetry, folk, and spoken word artists. The event is hosted by composer/producer Eric Joseph Meyer and poet/emcee Melissa Czarnik. The Beat Music Series is presented by Hyperdrive Motivator Productions, an engaged media company whose mission is to promote diversity, equality and empowerment through music and film.
ABOUT THE PERFORMERS
MELISSA CZARNIK (Zar-nik) defies category with her genre blending approach to hip hop and spoken word. Her soulful and melodic flow captivates listeners with intricate lyricism and heartfelt storytelling. She performs with a live band made up of Eric Joseph Meyer (keys), Ryan Ramirez (drums), Sam Neufeld (trumpet), Ari Folman-Cohen (bass) and Ali Carter (backing vocals). Her latest album Rainbow Skies (HMP, 2017) is available on iTunes, Spotify and BandCamp.
Beat Music Series co-host, ERIC JOSEPH MEYER is a New York City based composer, producer and pianist who recently completed his Masters in Music Composition at NYU. Meyer’s compositions are authentic and unaffected with a lively, soulful and jazz infused depth of expression. Without apology, Meyer remains true to his musical core while combining elements of hip hop, improvisation and the downtown school of composition into his distinctive musical voice. Meyer is also the producer and composer behind poet/emcee, Melissa Czarnik.
