New York concert tickets

A little weeknight jazz, anyone? Every Wednesday, Time Out Market New York, Union Square, hosts Bourbon & Brass, a lively jazz night bringing craft cocktails, unbeatable food and killer vibes to the heart of 14th Street. Catch top NYC talent live on stage with a rotating monthly lineup: Melaner brings soulful vocals on the first and third Wednesdays, while Grammy-winning trumpeter Danny Jonokuchi leads on the second and fourth Wednesdays. Pair the evening with a specialty-priced Bulleit bourbon Old Fashioned from the Market Bar and dinner from one of the Market’s stellar vendors. So come to the Market to unwind after the workday, meet friends for a drink or make it a midweek date night. Bourbon & Brass happens every Wednesday night at Time Out Market New York, Union Square from 7–10pm. 

After many years as something of a cult musical-theater figure, pop-rock showtunesmith Iconis had a breakout year in 2019, when his teen-oriented musical Be More Chill rode viral success to a run on Broadway. His rowdy cabaret shows, often stuffed with longtime friends and collaborators, have an joyous sense of community; every year at the Beechman, he scares up some tunes for Halloween—including songs from spooky movies and musicals, fright night standards and a few originals—and with help from his usual musical-comedy enablers. Kazoos are provided for all.   

Actor-musicians Lauren Molina and Nick Cearley are not only talented at playing the cello, ukulele and glockenspiel but also at performing stripped-down versions of pop songs in their underwear, with multiple Broadway guest stars sharing their talents in the flesh. This special Halloween edition at Joe's Pub is devoted to stories and songs about The Rocky Horror Show; the stacked lineup of scheduled guests includes Barrett Foa, Taylor Iman Jones, A.J. Shively, Sutton Lee Seymour, Marissa Rosen, Rob Morrison, Nora Schell, Talia Suskauer, Megan Dwinell, Jimmy Ray Bennett and Tony d’Alelio.

Mosher is one of those talents you need to see to believe: warm, funny, biting, ferociously committed. In her biweekly series—now held at the Green Room 42 after years at Birdland—she invites a gaggle of performers from Broadway and beyond to show their talents. 

He’s worked with Liza Minnelli, Kylie Minogue and just about every downtown act in NYC. Now composer, pianist and performer Lance Horne hosts his own wild night of singing, drinking and dancing, strip-teasing and bad behavior at the East Village nightlife hub Club Cumming. Expect advanced show-tune geekery and appearances by Broadway stars looking to get down by the piano. Plan to sleep in on Tuesday.

Part cabaret, part piano bar and part social set, Cast Party offers a chance to hear rising and established talents step up to the microphone (backed by the slap and tickle of Steve Doyle on bass and Billy Stritch at the ivories, plus the bang of Daniel Glass on drums). The waggish Caruso presides as host.
