A musician from Highbridge is calling on the community to track down his backpack so he can get back to performing.
Anthony Quarterman is known for his subway solos. He’s a musician for MTA Music Under New York, bringing R&B vocals to station platforms in the Bronx and Manhattan.
Quarterman says he was on his way to perform at the South Ferry/Whitehall Station on Thursday when his bag was lost.
“Ride to the last stop, got off the bus with my speakers and realized I left my backpack on the bus with my microphone, my pads, my music and everything in it,” said Quarterman. "I was in so much in a hurry to get back because I knew today was a good money day.”
The musician says that without his equipment, he can’t perform, and with no performances, he can’t make money.
