Balthrop Alabama & Federico Aubele Feb 14
"I cannot think of a better, non-cheesy way to spend Valentine’s Day than with Balthrop, Alabama.  The music is always incredible and to see Michael Arthur creat such incredible art while they perform is one of those only in New York type of experiences.  And while you are at it...stay for Federico Aubele and have a true Joe’s Pub experience.  The switch from alt-country rock to the beautiful romantic latin music will make for an incredible night." - Kevin Abbott (Joe's Pub Manager & Staff Pick First-timer)

 

Alice Smith, Feb 9 9:30
"A hauntingly stunning performance.  Witness one of the country’s all-time vocalists at Joe’s Pub.  It’s an experience that you will recount for decades." -Shrive Alive

 

Minq Vaadka & the disgruntled lovers Feb 11 11:30
"I can't help but get a little annoyed when Valentine's Day rolls around. There's so much date-night stuff during the week of Feb 14th every year, but finally there's a down and dirty, punk-rock cabaret anti-Valentine's show." - Alex Knowlton (Communications Associate / Urban Lumberjack)

 

Greg Laswell Feb 12 11:30
He is for the broken hearted. For the star-crossed and the bittersweet. For the reborn hearts that once again beat like butterflies and jackhammers. Mostly though, he is for every mixed tape you’ll soon mix. Oh, and you will mix, and master, and conduct. After all, mixed tapes = love. Oh... And what is this? Valentines day is coming? Well then, we’ll see you at the show. - Rebecca Elroy (Manager / Staff Pick late bloomer)

Thousands of you came to buy tickets for the Joe's Pub Jamie Cullum show. Our site was overwhelmed by the traffic, but not before the show sold out... in a matter of seconds.


We are very sorry to all you fans who didn't make it under the wire. (Hopefully he'll be back to play another show sometime in the future!)

 

We certainly hope you'll keep checking our site, as you will be the first to know when we book musicians of super-star status in the future.


Thank you very much for your patience.

We certainly look forward to seeing you at Joe's soon.

 

 
Kaki King & Dan Brantigan play Daysleeper at Joe's Pub Feb 23

Guitar & lap steel phenom Kaki King comes to Joe's Pub Feb 23rd, joined by Dan Brantigan on a suspiciously bong-shaped Electric Voice Instrument (EVI). Together, they will play new tracks from the Daysleeper EP, a collection of music that toes the line between hypnotic, and frantic. At her December show at the Williamsburg Music Hall, Kaki King played a couple tracks from Daysleeper, but now's your chance to hear a whole set of new, eclectic, unexpected music. Check out the video above if you don't believe us, and then be sure to get your tickets here .

Fresh from his Guinness World Record for longest live piano performance (27 hours, 3 minutes and 44 seconds) his piano battle with Andrew WK in New York, and a sold-our run at London’s La Pigalle Club, Paris-based pianist and showman Chilly Gonzales crosses the Atlantic for four ‘Piano Talk Shows’ in New York City this February.

 

The self-proclaimed "Entertainist" will play every Thursday at Joe’s Pub, finally giving NYC a taste of his futuristic cabaret performance. Each show will feature a guest from Gonzo's extended musical family - count on SIA to kick start these dates and Andrew WK, DJ A-Trak  and Princess Supastar to keep the suprized coming.

 

Chilly is celebrating two new releases, a spellbinding 7” piano remake of Erol Alkan and Boys Noize's club banger ‘Waves’ (coupled with a spoken music lesson on the B-side) and his 4-album live Guinness World Record set "The Works" (released through Believe digital).

 

Gonzo's collaborations continue to multiply: he's co-writing and producing the major-label debut of Thecocknbullkid, co-writing songs with Jarvis Cocker for "Get Him to the Greek" (a Russell Brand rock-movie spoof) and shooting new episodes of his cult web-TV show "SUPERPRODUCER" (presented exclusively with video-sharing site DailyMotion). Watch the hilarious sketch with gay British rapper Dorian (ahem) Gay here & here .

 

Having already bagged the (also self-proclaimed) title of President of the Berlin Underground, Chilly Gonzales can now add another notch on his belt after successfully challenging Andrew WK to a piano-off at Joe’s Pub in New York last September and premiering his Jarvis Cocker collaboration “Francophobia” at London’s La Pigalle Club in November.

 

For an idea of the kind of musical mayhem and unique extreme entertainment in store for Chilly’s upcoming New York City shows, check out the challenge and the big fight here.

This past Sunday Jan 10th the staff of Joe’s Pub produced the 7th annual globalFEST at Webster Hall.  We hosted  12 artists from around the world who performed on all three stages until the late-night hours. We would like to thank everyone who attended this year's festival, all of our great volunteers and globalFEST staff members, and of course all of the musicians for making this such an incredible experience!

 

The festival has gotten a lot of great press, but if there’s one thing to be sure to check out above all others, it’s NPR’s coverage on All Songs Considered (first link below) where you can listen to excerpts from the festival, and get a great sense of the atmosphere of the evening.  Click on the Listen to link at the top of the page. (although begging is generally beneath us, we are very proud of this year’s festival so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen)
