About It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere Concert Series
“It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere Concert Series” lands at St. George Theatre as a live, rotating showcase built around the simple New York idea that a weeknight can still belong to music. The program brings together performers Joe Endozo, Faith C., Bri Nicole, and Julia Aponte, placing different voices and styles in the same room without forcing them into a single genre story. No specific NYC premiere history is documented for this installment, but it fits a longstanding city pattern: curated bills that make emerging and local artists legible to a broader audience. The most telling choice is the format itself, which treats variety as the point rather than a compromise.
