Alex Marley

Alex Marley brings his music to City Winery for a night that should appeal to listeners who prefer their live shows in an intimate room. The venue's seated, close-up setup puts the emphasis on the songs and the performance rather than spectacle, making this a good option for actually paying attention to the music. Marley is part of a younger generation of artists working in a space that draws from reggae and contemporary songwriting, giving the set a natural fit for City Winery's more listening-focused format. If you've been meaning to catch him live, this is a chance to hear the material in a room where the details are easier to appreciate than they would be at a large outdoor show. Pair it with dinner or a drink at the venue and make an evening of it, rather than treating the concert as a quick stop.
