The Murder Mystery Company

.The Convergence.NYC Banquet will take place at the world-famous Empire State Building. What better place to be immersed in a 1920's murder mystery experience than at the iconic Gothic period landmark. Come dressed to kill (or in your finest 1920's getup)....and be prepared to be a part of the show.

Music Bear Tony Banks Brooklyn, NY

Music Bear Tony Banks defies much of the music world that we live in today. This up-and-coming Hip- hop storyteller has made a name for himself with his smooth rhythms, sick beats, and serious vocals. He stands out from the crowd as outspoken, unapologetic and uniquely talented. Going from nothing to something, all on his own merits – Tony personifies the American Dream.
Tony also stands out, in the unapologetic world, for being an out-and-proud gay man. In a culture that stereotypes gay men, especially ones who are African-American, the Music Bear looks past that and understands his true and honest identity through it all.
Recently named one of the ‘Five Gay Men You Should Know’ by Manhattan Digest, Tony has taken that upfront attitude to packed shows across the United States and abroad, including a cruise ship in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, SXSW, 35 Denton Festival in Denton, TX., Friday Night Live at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum, and Pride Festivals near and far.
