New York City officially co-named West 8th Street in Greenwich Village as ‘Jimi Hendrix Way’ on June 10, a ceremony led by NYC Council Member Harvey Epstein to honor one of the most influential guitarists in music history. The designation marks a lasting tribute to Hendrix’s deep roots in the neighborhood, where he lived and developed much of the sound that would define a generation.

Greenwich Village was central to Hendrix’s early years in New York — the area shaped his artistry before he became a global icon, and the street naming brings that history into permanent public view. It’s a recognition long overdue for a musician whose influence on rock, blues, and beyond has never faded.

For fans of Kiss The Sky: A Jimi Hendrix Tribute, this moment is a reminder of just how enduring that legacy is. The music Hendrix created in neighborhoods like this one continues to move audiences decades later — and Kiss The Sky brings that same energy to the stage night after night.
