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 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 NYC 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.

The Deli's Staff
Paolo
De Gregorio - Editor-In-Chief - Email
Manically devoted to the indie rock/pop genre and truly
obsessed with the NYC scene since he was a teenager living
in Italy, producer Paolo De Gregorio has recently settled
in the Big Apple after 5 years in London (U.K.). While
in the UK, De Gregorio developed and refined his skills
as a sound/mixing engineer, collaborating with producer
Charlie Francis (R.E.M, High Llamas, Turin Brakes, Minus
5) and working on several independent projects and one
major indie-pop hit ("Maybe You've Been Brainwashed
Too," New Radicals, Universal). Paolo started the
Deli without fully understanding the extent of his undertaking.
One can often hear him complain about the excessive volume
of emails he receives or the pressure involved in running
a magazine. Paolo is always looking for quality, edgy,
indie rock/pop bands with innovative sounds, songs, and
haircuts.

Ed Gross - Editor - Email
Ed Gross is a native of Washington, DC. A graduate of
Vassar College, Gross divides his time between freelance
writing and playing guitar for the NYC-based rock band
Hello Nurse. In addition to serving as the assistant editor
for the Deli, Ed also works for Rolling Stone
and Men's Journal in New York City.
