Performance

Man Turned Mule Tour

2 upcoming performances in New York

Orville Peck brings the Man Turned Mule Tour to the Brooklyn Paramount, placing a contemporary country set in a room built for big-stage spectacle. Abbie Callahan opens the night, with material that connects to her release *OptiMYSTIC*, framing a second angle on the genre’s present tense. If this marks a New York City debut for the tour, it reads as a measure of how country continues to relocate and adapt inside the city’s club-and-theater circuit. Peck’s masked persona turns the performance into a study of identity as much as songcraft.
