What is The Deli?
The Deli Magazine is a daily updated website covering local music scenes (thus far: NYC, LA, Nashville, Chicago, SF, Portland, Austin, Philly and Burlington VT). We also have a quarterly printed publication exclusively focused on the NYC independent music scene, meaning the bands and the artists that live in the Big Apple.

Mission Statement
The primary goal of The Deli is to expose local musical artists that have not yet reached a level of international fame: this is why all of our printed articles feature up and coming bands and singer-songwriters (while our websites also cover the most popular breakout bands) .

The secondary goal is to inform and advise the local community of musicians on any other matter related to making music, from recording it to promoting it and performing it. You will find this kind of information in our Delicious Audio Blog and Listings section.

Tom Vale: Tom Vale is a man without a country, unless you count the U.S.A., in which case he is a man with a large, powerful country. When he is not slaving over The Deli for your pleasure, he writes for Under the Radar and Alarm. And occasionally does real work. He feels funny talking about himself in the third person. But such is his lot.

Katie Hoffman: Katie is a jack of all trades and master of nothing practical. She enjoys having money to buy food, sleeping more than four hours, gardening, and her dog. She does not enjoy sitting outside venues for hours, but she does it anyway.

Resalin Rago: When Resalin was ten, her mom bought her an acoustic guitar and took her to guitar lessons once a week. That lasted a month. Sixteen years later, she still can’t play a single chord but she enjoys writing about people who can. When she’s not writing, you can find her at Amy’s Ice Cream reading Anna Karenina. She’s on chapter XXIV, page 77.

Waldo P. Emerson Jones-Jeffers: Waldo P. Emerson Jones-Jeffers dwells in an alternate universe, a demented dimension in which the Velvet Underground and the Archies have traded places. Jones-Jeffers periodically pokes his head into the current rock & roll void, as it were, and freely spews his opinion in exchange for the big rock crit-lit money. Or something to that effect.

The Deli's "headquarters" are in NYC, info about NYC staff can be found here.
