Keller Williams Duo CD Release: Brooklyn Bowl
2018-10-19 20:00 | Brooklyn Bowl, 61 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11249, United States
Keller writes: “Usually, I play places without seats. My looping show comes in handy at those establishments. Occasionally, I’m allowed to play really nice places with actual places to sit. It’s these types of places that I feel acoustic music is truly what the rooms were intended for. With that in mind, I’m proud to announce that Danton Boller on the big acoustic double bass will join me as a duo in those almost perfect rooms. Just because these shows are loopless, it doesn’t mean it won’t be super funky. Funk is in the mind, the soul and also in the right hand of Danton Boller. I’m excited to explore the ideas of acoustic dance music with only the big bass, a couple of acoustic guitars and a whole lotta songs to choose from. Danton is in my band KWahtro and has done a bunch of Grateful Grass gigs so … these shows could get real freaky. Feel free to vibe off my stoke.”

Misha Piatigorsky Trio CD Release at Zinc Bar, NYC
2018-10-20 20:00 | Zinc Bar, 82 West 3rd Street, New York, NY, 10012, United States
Hailed by the Boston Globe as an artist who “beautifully merges the worlds of serious jazz and pop,” Misha Piatigorsky’s blend of powerful melodies with an unusual harmonic sensitivity gives his sound a deeply personal yet cosmopolitan dimension, reflecting his experience as a Russian-Jewish émigré growing up in urban America.

Taylor Mac, A 24-Decade History of Popular Music (Abridged), Utah
2018-11-02 19:30 - 20:00 | University of Utah, 1395 E. Presidents Circle, Salt Lake City, UT, 84112, United States
The D.C. premiere of this live vocal and theatrical presentation offers a radical, queer reading of American history with fabulous entertainer Taylor Mac and local performers.
“Mr. Mac gave me one of the great experiences of my life”—The New York Times
This hit show from drag artist Taylor Mac—the genre-defying winner of a 2017 MacArthur “Genius” Grant, recipient of the 2017 Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama, and a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama—uses songs of the time to chronicle our country from its founding in 1776 to today. Years in development, the show was originally performed in 2016 as a one-time, 24-hour event that made the New York Times annual list of Best Performances, Theater, and Music.
This condensed version is a highly immersive and outrageously entertaining crash course in the 240 years (and counting) of American culture and dysfunction. Highlighting various musical styles and artistic voices ranging from murder ballads to disco, Walt Whitman to David Bowie, this night is “startlingly unique… a must-see for anyone who wants to see a kinder, gentler society” (Huffington Post).

2018-12-19 19:00 | Joe’s Pub, 425 Lafayette St., New York, NY, 10003, United States
Get out of Bethlehem: The magi of mysticore, Stella Starsky and Quinn Cox, return to Joe’s Pub to kill the people with their holiday spectacle of song, wit and cosmic wisdom. You-know-who isn’t the only one born under some yonder star—we all are—and Starsky + Cox have the inside celestial scoop on what’s going on in that great o’er hanging firmament; and how every one of us is endowed with divine superpowers (and can work miracles) all our own. The tunes do the talking and the walking through the Zodiac, as songs by writers born under each of the twelve astrological signs drive a multitude of ah-ha moments home. Tis the season for empowerment and giving it absolutely everything you’ve got. Musical director Matt Ray at the baby grand leads the band with Tomoko Akaboshi on violin, Danton Boller on the upright bass, and Patrick Johnson on percussion and vocals.

“Irving’s voice is effortlessly projected. Sometimes a phrase is pursued with increasing pressure until the notes glisten and when suddenly released
in a whipping ribbon can give you the shivers.” – S.I.M.A Australia.
“Lavish talent and striking originality.”
– The Weekend Australian.​

In the early 1900s, one year after the Colony Arcade first opened as a working factory for milliners, visionary businesswoman Winifred T. McDonald rented the building’s 20,000-square foot ground floor space, turning it into a tea room for ladies and a separate restaurant for men.
Honoring the Colony Arcade’s role in New York’s Garment District, Winnie’s today is an intimate space that boasts a refined cocktail list with Prohibition-era flair, and an extensive beer and wine selection. With its prime location at the heart of Refinery Hotel’s lobby, timeless setting and live jazz performances, Winnie’s is a quintessential New York experience.
