September will be here before we know it and so here is the monthly music calendar for September 2014. Listings on the calendar are for venues in New York City and for bands that I can personally recommend or which I have reason to believe are worthwhile. All shows listed here are free or have tickets which cost $40 or less. I’ve tried to list the set time for each band. If all I have is a time when the show starts or when doors open, I’ll list that and so note it. As usual, this calendar will be updated from time to time during the coming month.
