The Subway Diaries is a rapid, humorous and insightful ride through the musical world pulsating beneath New York City, seen through the eyes of musician, author, and busker of the New York City Subways, Heidi Kole. The story is both a personal journey as well as a sociological study of the phenomenal and often colourful sub-culture of artists and musicians that exists underground in the city of New York. Captured is both the joy of the artists underground, their unique place in the city, the bond amongst themselves and their shared struggle to continue to make music in an environment of ever-heightened security & tightened personal freedoms.

"Heidi leads you on a guided tour through a subterranean world peopled by creative artists and sidewalk visionaries. Down winding tunnels and across gritty subway platforms, through her writing, both gritty and raw, she introduces you to an unforgettable cast of characters, not the least of whom is Heidi herself..” read more
