Performance

When The City Sleeps

2 upcoming performances in New York

When The City Sleeps arrives at Irving Plaza as a live Hip-Hop/R&B program with Alex Isley among the featured performers. The night takes its title seriously, tracking the after-hours city as subject matter rather than backdrop: work, desire, and private routines moving through public streets. In a venue with a long history of hosting New York breaking points in pop and rap, the setting adds context even when the material stays intimate. The most telling detail is the restraint, letting mood and voice carry the narrative.
