Unique, innovative, and wildly talented—that’s how we describe the music pouring out of the Greater Binghamton and broader 607 regions of New York State. It’s a sonic culture of creatively weaving genres. Of challenging what’s set in stone. That’s the entirely distinct Parlor City Sound. And we think it’s special enough to warrant dedicating our entire digital magazine to promoting it.
We report on the local music acts, the locally-owned small businesses, and the brilliant festivals that all thrive together in harmony to make these music scenes impressive. If you’re a musician, a business leader, or an event promoter in the 607 region—Greater Binghamton, Ithaca, Elmira, Corning, Cortland, Oneonta, Cooperstown, Hornell, Roxbury, or anyplace else in our region—then we want to hear from you, and help you be heard.
Parlor City Sound also publishes useful guides on all things music. From learning how to start a band to figuring out how to book a gig, our guides section is jam-packed with professionally researched tips, tricks, tutorials, and more.
