New York concert tickets

Only people in the know go to these secret jazz speakeasy shows, but don't worry, we're about to let you in on the secret. These underground live jazz performances called Daddy Rabbit are the epitome of cool. Musician extraordinaire Misha Piatigorsky launched Daddy Rabbit a few years ago, and the series has gained a well-earned following. Audiences are delighted by the immersive musical experience; you won't just be tapping your toes, you'll even be singing along with incredible performers from across the globe. It all makes for a memorable, only-in-NYC experience. Grab a ticket here for upcoming shows at LOULOU in Chelsea. Here's the lineup: — Friday, July 11: Daddy Rabbit plays David Bowie featuring Rahj Mason and Emily Braden— Friday, July 18: Featuring Benny Benack III— Friday, August 1: Featuring Steve Nelson and Rudy Royston — Friday, August 29: Daddy Rabbit featuring Jackie Ribas 

Billy Joel has one of the most iconic discographies of any artist in the modern era, and at 75 years old, he's still going strong. This year, the icon from Long Island is taking the stage with Rod Stewart at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx on July 18; the MetLife Stadium with Stevie Nicks on August 8; and then Citi Field with Sting on August 21. 

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.

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. Guests at the April 15 edition include Jelani Remy, Jeff Harnar, Richard Jay-Alexander, Ava Nicole Frances, Keve Wilson, Yael Rasooly, Ivory Fox, Juson Williams, Annie Thomas, Ella Miller and Izzy Casciani.

PJ Adzima, who currently plays the hopeful but hopelessly repressed Elder McKinley in Broadway's The Book of Mormon, hosts a neovaudevillian monthly variety show at the Slipper Room that proffers an eclectic mix of musical-theater, comedy, drag, circus and burlesque performances. A down-and-dirtier version of the show also plays there every week on Saturdays at midnight.

Few singers have the sheer macho swagger of Lea DeLaria, who rose to fame as a butcher-than-thou stand-up comic and Broadway star, and more recently earned new fans as Big Boo on Orange Is the New Black. As a jazz vocalist, she has tough-guy sell and a penchant for scat. In her monthly brunch set at 54 Below, she tackles Great American Songbook standards and showtunes by such upper-echelon writers as Stephen Sondheim, Michael John LaChiusa and Kander and Ebb. 

Enjoy an intimate evening of jazz and wine with Danny Jonokuchi & The Revisionists every Wednesday this fall. From 6 to 9pm, hear tunes from the band that won the inaugural Count Basie Great American Swing Contest for its virtual performance of “One O’Clock Jump,” the award-winning track from its “Late Night Basie” album. The Revisionists have gotten people dancing across the city and abroad, including at Lincoln Center, The Rainbow Room, Dizzy’s Club - Jazz at Lincoln Center, The MET, The Guggenheim, Sony Hall, The Ziegfeld Ballroom, City Winery, The Plaza Hotel, The Swing Remix, The historic Abyssinian Church and The Django. What better way to make it through your week than a night out with drink and dancing?

The longtime New York entertainer, drag performer and political activist Marti Gould Cummings hosts a new weekly late-night talk show at Red Eye, joined by different guests from the theater world each week and Yaz Fukuoka at the piano. The series kicks off this month with an impressive roster of interviewees: Broadway soprano Ali Ewoldt (April 2), songwriters Stephen Trask and Our Lady J (April 9), musical comedian Cat Cohen (April 16), silver-voiced leading lady Melissa Errico (April 23) and masked country star turned Cabaret emcee Orville Peck (April 30).

Understudies, alternates and standbys get their moments in the sun in Stephen DeAngelis's longevous cabaret series, which began in 2003 and has so far shone a spotlight on more than 1,200 performers. The April edition features sometime Gypsy Rose lead Tryphena Wade, Kelly Belarmino, Andrew Montgomery Coleman, Sam Hartley, Hannah Kevitt, Jessi Kirtley, Michael Milkanin and Sunset Boulevardiers Emma Lloyd and Diego Andres Rodriguez. Rachel Dean is the musical director and accompanist.
