"Paul Sub, who is now 94, founded Coventry in 1972 after moving to the US as a Holocaust survivor from Austria. He had previously opened a coffee shop in Manhattan called Zodiac that became a popular hang-out spot for celebrated artists of the era such as Bob Dylan, which inspired him to open a music venue in Queens."
"Charlie Sub, the son of Coventry founder Paul Sub, said he chose Sanger Hall for the mural because the original Coventry location on Queens Boulevard has since been torn down, while Sanger Hall is one of the closest venues to the original location that offers live music."
"The new mural, painted by artists Dylon Thomas Burns and Dylan Bauver, is on the exterior wall of Sanger Hall, a cocktail bar located at 48-20 Skillman Ave."
"Charlie Sub said, 'Anyone who wanted to play could play. He had to hear them, but as long as they weren't completely horrible, he would give them a chance.'"
