Fandalism Open Jam Session and Musician Gathering at Washington Square Park in NYC

Fandalism Open Jam Session and Musician Gathering

Earlier today Philip “Pud” Kaplan organized an Open Jam Session and Musician Gathering in NYC’s Washington Square Park for his new startup Fandalism, a social network that helps connect musicians and showcase their skills.

Here’s a video I shot of Pud leading the gathered musicians on a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”.
