The Dirty Urchins Play Tonight at Music on Main
Free concert from an interesting band.
is branching out in its musical tastes. The Dirty Urchins, a great group born in an Lower East side apartment, obtained its name when one of the founders, Freddie Stephenson, remarked after one of their subway performances in New York City: "We're just like a bunch of dirty urchins!"
As the band said, the name stuck.
The group started out as street performers, musicians who play for coins and a few dollars in subways and parks. The musicians thought, rightly so, that they had a good chance to move their way up the musicial chain, and they decided to ditch the temp jobs and Starbucks barista gigs and focus on their music.
