Hear Me Out: Hosted by Nick Smith
About This Event
Hear Me Out, hosted by Nick Smith, brings a mixed bill to Union Hall that pairs rock/pop songwriters with comics in short, economy‑minded sets. This edition features Ayanna, Bridget, Britt, Cassidy, Dookie, Erik, Jaboukie and Liza, artists whose work favors direct songcraft, tight arrangements and steady delivery suited to Union Hall’s close‑listening room.
About Hear Me Out
Hear Me Out brings a live rock/pop set to Union Hall, staged with the intimacy of a Brooklyn room that has long blurred the line between club show and community hangout. Hosted by Nick Smith, the night features performers including Liza Treyger, Jaboukie, and Young-, shaping the set through voice, timing, and presence as much as through songs. In a city where genre boundaries are routinely tested, the format points to a familiar New York habit: turning a bill into a conversation. The result is less spectacle than a snapshot of the current scene in motion.
