NYC To Co-Name West 8th Avenue 'Jimi Hendrix Way'
The street co-naming is led by NYC District 2 Council Member Harvey Epstein and spearheaded by Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., the Hendrix family-owned company led by Janie Hendrix, alongside musician and writer Jeff Slate. The event will also serve as the public launch of a new national education partnership with Stevie Van Zandt’s TeachRock, expanding its library of more than 500 free, standards-aligned lessons that use music and popular culture to teach history, social studies, language arts, and other core subjects. The collaboration includes a new multimedia Hendrix curriculum designed for middle and high school students.
Joining Council Member Epstein at the ceremony will be TeachRock founder Stevie Van Zandt; Janie Hendrix, President and CEO of Experience Hendrix, L.L.C.; Grammy Award-winning guitarist Vernon Reid of Living Colour; legendary songwriter and performer Valerie Simpson; guitarist Felicia Collins, best known for her work with the CBS Orchestra and the World’s Most Dangerous Band on Late Show with David Letterman; and acclaimed producer and engineer Eddie Kramer, who worked closely with Hendrix and helped conceptualize Electric Lady Studios.
Local TeachRock educators and students will also participate, connecting one of rock music’s most revered creative landmarks with classrooms in New York City and the growing national network of educators using TeachRock curriculum in schools across the country.
The new lesson, Jimi Hendrix: Rock’s Trailblazing Innovator and Influential Guitarist, invites students to explore Hendrix’s journey from his Blues and R&B roots to his revolutionary impact on rock music, sound design, and live performance. Through video, interactive tools, and hands-on projects, students examine how Hendrix reshaped creative identity and why his influence continues to resonate more than 50 years later.
“We are proud to honor the legacy of Jimi Hendrix today,” said Council Member Harvey Epstein. “Our district has long been a hub of culture, arts, and activism, and Jimi Hendrix embodied all of those ideals. He was not only a groundbreaking musician, but also a powerful voice for peace, racial equity, and social justice. He revolutionized music in this neighborhood, and it is only fitting that these streets now carry his name.”
“Jimi Hendrix didn’t just play guitar — he reimagined what art could be,” said Stevie Van Zandt. “With TeachRock, we want students to experience that same sense of possibility and discovery that so many of us felt the first time we heard Jimi. His story, lyrics, and sound remind young people that creativity has no limits.”
The lesson was co-developed with educator and musician John Anthony and features exclusive archival footage and expert interviews provided by Experience Hendrix, L.L.C., including Hendrix’s iconic 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival performance. TeachRock also partnered with NYU’s MusEdLab to create interactive tools that allow students to experiment with the guitar effects and sonic innovations that defined Hendrix’s signature sound.
“This collaboration speaks directly to the heart of our mission, carrying Jimi’s legacy forward through education,” said Janie Hendrix, President and CEO of Experience Hendrix, L.L.C. “His music remains a powerful gateway for young people to connect with history, creativity, and their own potential.”
In keeping with TeachRock’s commitment to accessible education, the free lesson, aligned with National Standards for Music Education, National Core Arts Standards, Social Studies standards, and Common Core State Standards, is available now at teachrock.org/ as part of TeachRock’s free curriculum library.

J.P. Reali Releases Blues Cover of Grateful Dead's 'I Need A Miracle'
Veteran guitarist and singer-songwriter J.P. Reali has released his new single “I Need A Miracle” and announced his new EP, Grateful Blues, a blues tribute to the Grateful Dead, which will be released on Friday, July 31st.
Keeping in the spirit of blues guitar giants, Reali’s take on “I Need A Miracle” serves as the perfect introduction to the six-song valentine to the iconic and enduring ensemble. Here, the Bob Weir-penned bopper, originally featured on 1978’s Shakedown Street, gets a lyrical shave, and an infusion of Texas shuffle a la Stevie Ray Vaughn, before dovetailing into a tease of “Bertha.” Have a listen below.
The half-dozen Dead nuggets featured on Grateful Blues run the range – from early, blues-laden rarities to deeper album cuts to fan favorites – each reimagined in Reali’s own vernacular. Just like the notoriously adventurous group that sparked the project, Reali sought to create new, atypical versions of these decades-old songs. Recorded at Turtle Studios in Philadelphia, mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Andy Kravitz, and produced by Reali’s longtime friend and drummer Jim Larson, Grateful Blues is as unique a compilation as its creator. Too, it’s as fitting a tribute to the Grateful Dead itself. Track listing for Grateful Blues below.
For J.P. Reali, his love for the Grateful Dead all began when he spotted a bumper sticker in a Long Island record store. To his teenage mind, on that fateful day nearly five decades ago, that gleaming, glossy, rectangular vessel of rock-and-roll promotion spoke like a muse: On the Eighth Day God Created The Grateful Dead. Reali was hooked. Raised on a steady stream of Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, and the blues, Reali gravitated towards artists that alchemized it all into arena rock gold. Whether Jimi Hendrix, or Yes, or The Allman Brothers Band - and, of course, the Dead - Reali found overflowing founts of inspiration. He studied guitar, formed bands, and played the blues. And of course, there were the concerts. Reali consumed dozens upon dozens of Dead shows in the 1980s, while pulling double duty as an aspiring musician and audio engineering student at American University in Washington, DC. The obligations and opportunities of Reali’s life merged into a successful career as an audio engineer, working in recording studios alongside the greats and a tenured stint at the venerable Kennedy Center in the nation’s capital.
Along the way, the now Delaware-based Reali has made records of his own, releasing a trio of independent self-produced blues albums over the last nearly 20 years. Grateful Blues will mark the follow-up to 2024’s Blues Since Birth, which featured acclaimed originals and garnered widespread airplay.

“The Beatles at 3 Savile Row” Opening 2027
And now, 3 Savile Row will open its famous doors to all for the first time. Due to launch in 2027, The Beatles at 3 Savile Row will feature seven floors of never-seen-before material from Apple Corps’ extensive archives, rotating exhibitions, fan store, and the recreation of the original studio where Let It Be was recorded. It will also give fans the opportunity to tread in the band's footsteps as they relive the iconic rooftop concert on exactly the spot it happened.
Since its inception in 1968, Apple Corps Ltd. has overseen The Beatles’ creative and business interests and this completes a full circle moment as it returns to its most famous early headquarters.
Speaking of the opening of 3 Savile Row, Apple Corps’ CEO Tom Greene comments: ‘We’re thrilled to bring Apple Corps back to its spiritual home and give The Beatles fans something truly special. Every single day, fans are taking pictures of the outside of 3 Savile Row – but next year they can go in and explore all seven floors of the iconic building, including the rooftop where even the railings remain the same from that famous day in 1969.”
Paul McCartney says: “It was such a trip to get back to 3 Savile Row recently and have a look around. There are so many special memories within the walls, not to mention the rooftop. The team have put together some really impressive plans and I’m excited for people to see it when it’s ready."
Ringo Starr adds: “Wow, it’s like coming home.”
Further details of The Beatles at 3 Savile Row - as well as details of a second experience currently in development - will be announced in due course. Stay tuned by visiting 3savilerow.thebeatles.com.
