The National Underground was a music venue in New York City, that was launched in December 2007.

[3][4][5] Joey DeGraw is an independent artist whose first record sold 40,000 copies without any label support.

[6] The former New York space once was home to Martignetti Liquors, and had been decorated with hanging tapestries and a pair of Texas longhorns above the bar.

[7][8] The idea for the venue came about because the brothers wanted a place where they could hang out on a regular basis, and where other musicians could come in.

'"[9] Musicians that have played at The National Underground include Gavin DeGraw, Joss Stone, Chris Barron, and The Shells.
