A selection of upcoming events in New York City over the next seven days.
Mike Dawes performs his solo fingerstyle repertoire at the Iridium, where he is a regular presence in New York's music scene. His technique, which enables him to render multiple musical parts on one guitar, anchors sets drawn from four studio albums and a live record, highlighting the interplay of rhythmic, harmonic and melodic elements in a solo format.
Lawrence headlines the "Staycation" date at Brooklyn Paramount, with support from Fastball and Sam Greenfield. Lawrence brings an eight-member, rhythm-forward pop-soul approach anchored by New York City siblings Clyde and Gracie, with tight vocal interplay and band-driven arrangements; Fastball favors steady grooves and clean phrasing, and Sam Greenfield brings songwriting craft and direct vocals.
The Unanswered Questions: Songs of Resistance, Songs of Freedom brings vocalist-composer Imani Uzuri and Dr. Tyrone Clinton, Jr. to David Geffen Hall. Uzuri's work blends jazz, soul and world music; Clinton programs new work and community-focused repertory alongside concert tradition, framing a program that pairs contemporary composition with communal listening and practice.
Dress Rehearsal at Union Hall features a mixed bill of comedy and song-focused rock/pop in an intimate Park Slope room. The lineup pairs comedians such as Annabel and, Godkhindi, Meschke and Gary Gulman with musicians including Dress Rehearsal, Armstrong, Baram, Leeds and Lily. Expect character-driven, cleanly paced comedy and song-forward arrangements that favor clarity and close-room dynamics over spectacle.
Wild Card Comedy Free Every Tuesday at Alphaville presents a lineup that includes Daniel Van Kirk and Jarrett Campbell. Van Kirk is a comedian, actor, writer and podcast host based in Los Angeles; his work spans stand-up, acting and podcasting. Campbell is a Canadian stand-up whose 2019 album Straight White Fail earned a Juno nomination and who appears across New York club rooms and mixed showcases with a preference for direct, premise-forward writing.
The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra has, for over half a century, been a fixture at the Village Vanguard after emerging under the leadership of Thad Jones and Mel Lewis. The ensemble performs both traditional and contemporary big‑band jazz as part of its long-running Village Vanguard residency, maintaining a direct connection to the music's history while engaging contemporary approaches.
Signal hosts a Halloween Sunday bill pairing back-to-back sets from Lakuti and Tama Sumo, Mike Servito and Shaun J. Wright, with KWÉYÒLKIDZ on the bill. Lakuti and Tama Sumo favor long-form pacing and low-end clarity; Servito and Shaun J. Wright move between techno and house with rhythmic discipline and ballroom-inflected phrasing, while KWÉYÒLKIDZ weave club-ready electronics with nu-jazz–derived rhythms and careful timing.
Amore Opera presents Bizet's The Pearl Fishers. Georges Bizet, a French Romantic-era composer best known for Carmen and The Pearl Fishers, wrote music noted for rich orchestration, vivid melody and dramatic intensity. This staging at Amore Opera places those musical qualities at the center of the performance.
