Starving Artist - LIVE on the Web!
On Sunday, March 25, Starving Artist pushed back its cafe walls and opened up its great music to the world - the world wide web, that is.
"Elliott & Friends," a music series that showcases songwriters and explores the meaning behind the music, was broadcast on the web. The two-hour show can be seen at our USTREAM Channel.
The following Sunday we opened up the music to the world once again, showcasing the amazing Sonas band.
On Sunday, April 7, we featured songwriter - and Starving Artist waitress! - Jenn "Angel Wings" Santise; her show is in the player to the right. In March, on stage was songwriter and master guitarist John Guth. You may watch view previous "live" shows -- including the afternoon with songwriters Brian Conigliaro, Carolann Solebello and Scott Urgola, and another with Fred Gillen Jr., Ansel Matthews and ReW STaRR; there are others as well, featuring Kylie Edmond and Joel Kaminer, as well as Don Lowe, Jim Harrison, Pleasant Bud Coughlin, Matt Turk, Sonya Heller, Curtis Becraft, and Jeep Rosenberg -- at our UStream Channel, Starving Artist TV.
In July 2007, Elliott Glick made his debut on Neil Young's "Living With War" website with his original song, "Baby, This One's For You." Just a few months later, in September, another original, "Bitter Tears," also got listed on that website.
For four years, the site remained active - and both songs remained in the top 100!
The "Songs of the Times" website is back with us, and YOU DID IT! Glick's songs moved from the high hundreds, even 1,400 to now be back in the top 400! As of 5/13/2013, here's the tally: "Baby, This One's For You" (#200) and "Bitter Tears" (#596). Let's move him back UP, UP, UP!!
And so, the "Click on Glick" campaign continues! The more you click to listen, the higher he'll move on the listing.

Elliott Glick "Once Upon A Time" CD
Writes Elliott Glick: "This CD is a collection of love songs. It turns out that I am very lucky in love, so I dedicate this to my Monica, who inspired the whole thing. I've also experienced the love of many people who helped me complete this project. They include Starving Artist music-artists Jon Burr, Jonathan Russell, and Theresa Sareo, as well as new friend Vickie Russell. Thanks to Anna Foster for her beautiful Orchard Beach photographs - and for spending a Friday morning with us on the beach. Last, but not least, I thank the 'maestro' John Guth for his wizardry - and 'Uncle' Bill Yehle and Hannah for 'all those Tuesdays.'"

The Story of the Starving Artist
In May of 1997, Elliott Glick opened up the Starving Artist Gallery on City Island, New York. That original venue on City Island Avenue featured his own handmade jewelry, and the fine art / fine craft work of local artisans. This included handmade boxes, pottery, paintings and photographs.
In February 2004, Glick decided that there were another group of artists - music-artists - that needed a venue. A singer-songwriter himself, he wanted to create a space to provide a forum for that art form. So he kept Starving Artist on City Island and moved it down the street a block - in a space where he could have more room for tables and chairs, and for these musicians and songwriters. Since that 2004 opening, there have been hundreds of performances by songwriters, blues musicians, jazz performers. There have also been cultural and other celebrations - for Chinese New Year and Mardi Gras, of Renaissance music - as well as young musicians nights where Glick encourages teens and young adults to pursue their musical talents and dreams.
Starving Artist's "menu" - besides handmade jewelry, fine art / craft and great music - includes cafe food offerings including fresh fruit and cheese basket, "macho" nachos, delicious spinach dip served with pita and crackers, Elliott's worldclass meatballs as a sandwich or platter, our signature panini grilled sandwiches (each artfully prepared), as well as fresh salads with our homemade dressings. There are also the Starving Artist "delights" - our mile-high apple pie and our very own chocolate volcano dessert. In the way of drinks, we offer some "blasts from the past" including egg creams (chocolate and vanilla) and cherry-lime rickeys, too!
We don't charge a cover or minimum for music performances, but everyone who is "in the house" must order something from our menu, and is asked to contribute to the "music appreciation box" (an offering of their own choosing).
The Starving Artist, besides being a "fun" place, is a "games" spot as well. Tables feature "trivial pursuit" question cards, as well as games such as pickup sticks, dominoes, and playing cards.
We are located at 249 City Island Avenue (two-and-a-half blocks past the third traffic light on City Island Avenue; look for the maroon awning between Carroll and Schofield Streets). Reservations are suggested for performances. You can call (718) 885-3779 or e-mail us.
Elliott Glick - a songwriter and music-artist for more than 40 years - added music to the "menu" in February 2004, providing a forum for music-artists.
