Hoboken Talks: Michael Hill, Music Supervisor and longtime resident, talks with Jack Silbert
May 17, 2022 @ 12:00 am
Join us Thursday, May 19 at 7pm when Michael Hill is interviewed by Jack Silbert.
Michael Hill moved to Hoboken during a sweltering Labor Day weekend in 1981 and has been here ever since. His greatest ambition was to live within walking distance of Maxwell’s on 11th and Washington, and he definitely accomplished that. Michael has worked as a music supervisor in television and film for more than twenty years. Among his projects have been two Oscar-nominated films, Ladybird and The White Tiger, and such television series as The Affair, Nurse Jackie, and the legendary HBO comedy, Bored To Death. His latest projects include Dexter: New Blood, The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey,The Girl From Plainville and the critically acclaimed epic, Pachinko. Michael started out as a music writer, with bylines in the Village Voice and Rolling Stone and the NY Rocker, and spent 15 years as an A&R director at Warner Bros Records, where he worked with alt-rock icons The Replacements. He clearly lived to tell the tale. You might be able to spot Michael in John Sayles’ music video for Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days.” Luckily for Michael, no video exists for his one-night performance of Jonathan Richman songs at the eighties club Danceteria, with Yo La Tengo’s Ira Kaplan and Georgia Hubley.
