Roger Manning
Roger Manning is a New York City based singer-songwriter who plays an aggressive acoustic style of music. Manning, along with a small handful of other artists, composed the original New York City anti-folk scene.[2] His legal challenge in 1985 overturned New York's long-standing ban on music in the subway, and launched the Music Under New York program.[3] He was also the host of the first season of the short-lived syndicated radio program "Soho Natural Sessions" (1990).[4][5]
