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.[1] His legal challenge in 1985 overturned New York's longstanding ban on music in the subway, and launched the Music Under New York program.[2] He was also the host of the first season of the short-lived syndicated radio program "Soho Natural Sessions" (1990–1991).
Manning released three albums, all self-titled:
- Roger Manning (1988) SST Records
- Roger Manning (1993) Shimmy Disc
- Roger Manning (1995) Moll Selekta
Since 2001, Manning has made a living as a web designer in New York.[3]
