  • Judy Collins to Perform Acclaimed Album ‘Wildflowers’ at The Town Hall in NYC

    On Saturday, February 25, pop icon Judy Collins is heading to the Town Hall to bring her signature blend of folk and pop to NYC as she performs her 1967 album, Wildflowers — to this day, her highest-charting album —  front to back with the Harlem Chamber Players. 

    Judy Collins Wildflowers
    Judy Collins, performing Wildflowers on February 25 at The Town Hall

    Judy Collins came to NYC from the west coast at the start of the sixties. She landed in Greenwich Village, singing songs written by contemporaries such as Tom Paxton, Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen. With Cohen, Collins was a veritable salonnière of the Greenwich Village scene; she brought together Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman and many more, so the artists could share inspirations and audiences. Her background working with protest singers has stayed with Collins, she works with multiple social justice organizations and represents UNICEF.

    While she came on the scene as an interpretive cover artist — she won the Grammy for Best Folk Recording in 1969 for her cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now — Collins soon established herself as an adept songwriter as well, starting with “Since You Asked” in 1967. This year, Collins has been nominated for a Grammy again, this time for her folk album Spellbound, her first complete album of all original, self-penned songs in her career. 

    At the Town Hall on February 25, fans will hear Collins’ famous rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now” live, as well as other hits from that album: “Albatross,” “Since You Asked,” and “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye.” Joining Collins is the Harlem Chamber Players, an acclaimed chamber band that works to increase access to high-caliber classical music in Harlem and the greater city. Doors will open at 7 p.m. and the show will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets can be purchased here

  • Pedro Pascal Hosts with Musical Guest Coldplay on Saturday Night Live

    On the February 4th episode of Saturday Night Live with Pedro Pascal, best known for his roles in Narcos, Game of Thrones, and The Mandalorian, hosts with 2023 Grammy nominated band Coldplay.

    Pedro Pascal and Coldplay

    The cold open is a parody of the MSNBC talk show, with Chloe Fineman as the anchor. The cold open focuses on the China balloon that was seen going over the United States. Bowen Yang plays the balloon, and talks about his experiences of being the balloon, saying he flew over Montana because he likes the show Yellowstone. They talk more about politics and racism.

    https://youtu.be/gG3kUa8uM4c

    The monologue of Pedro Pascal features him talking about his experience with shooting with HBO and in Canada. He talks about his upbringing in Chile, and how he is very close with his large extended family. Pascal talked about his range as an actor, and how excited he is to be on SNL. The monologue was short however to the point, showcasing how being on the show is a big deal to him.

    The first skit features a parody of Jeopardy, called Big Hollywood Show. The categories feature information about film and TV, with Pedro Pascal playing a contestant. The questions talk about new pop culture trends going on today, like the new 80 For Brady film, and other new shows. The next skit is a movie trailer featuring the characters of Mario, which recently came out in a new animated film.

    Following that skit comes a new one, surrounding characters in a hospital, making fun of the L.A. accent, reminscnent of the Californians sketch on previous seasons. Pascal broke character a few times, which made it even funnier. After that skit, the Gen Z slang came out in a high school centered sketch, referencing the app TikTok and the edits made on them, and the SNL audio of previous host SZA singing. It is funny watching this as someone who is considered Gen Z and dealing with the Internet and the aftermath of COVID 19. Sarah Paulson, best known for her role in American Horror Story, makes a guest appearance.

    Musical guest Coldplay has had 34 nominations and four wins for the GRAMMY awards, with nomination for Album of the Year in 2023 for their record Music of the Spheres. The first song they performed, “The Astronaut” sounded magical, with the four piece, including lead singer Chris Martin, providing energy. There was an appearance of a person dressed as a mysterious alien, which made the performance feel out of this world. As the song carried on, more and more people joined the stage with glow sticks, doing background vocals.

    https://youtu.be/64W30CcJqjA

    Weekend Update with Colin Jost and Michael Che was the upcoming sketch, always featuring satirical and comedic takes on what is happening in the country and beyond. They talk about the upcoming Superbowl, and Groundhog’s Day, and how the groundhog saw his shadow. Punxsutawney Phil (Michael Longfellow) made a guest appearance with British rappers (James Austin Johnson, Devon Walker).

    Coldplay performs another track from their newest album, called “Human Heart/Fix You.” It featured a number of backing vocals and Martin singing. He shouted out Pascal for hosting the great show. The sound of the record is authentic to Coldplay, and their signature sound didn’t change up much.

    https://youtu.be/wPKbuDFC1Rs

    The last sketch features Pascal at a birthday celebration dinner with other SNL cast members. One of the characters was comically cutting her food shaking the whole table, causing Pescal and others to break character.

    The next episode on February 25 features Woody Harrelson and musical guest Jack White.

  • City Winery To Host Covenant Winery’s 20th Anniversary Jazz Concert

    City Winery has announced they will be hosting Covenant Winery’s 20th anniversary Sunday, February 5th at City Winery from 2:30 PM to 5 PM with a jazz concert led by winery founder and proprietor, Jeff Morgan.

    Musician Jeff Morgan owns the Covenant winery with his wife and CEO Jodie and has a deep history with music as a performer, specifically as a saxophone player. After a formal education at the French National Music Conservatory in Nice, France Jeff became a co-band leader for the house band in Monte Carlo at Prince Rainier’s Grand Casino in Monaco.   He took a hiatus from playing music for the last 25 years, but because of the pandemic, he had some time on his hands and returned to his saxophone again. After a full year of practice and hosting  a summer concert series in 2022 at the Tasting Patio of their urban winery, Jeff has regained his playing chops.

    The wines of Covenant have received wide international acclaim and the Morgans have collaborated on ten cookbooks together, refining the approach to food and wine pairing. Elegant and approachable, books such as the Covenant Kitchen, the Dean & Deluca cookbook and the Domaine Chandon cookbook have delighted foodies with their fresh, ingredient driven recipes. Their informed and no-nonsense food pairings take the guesswork out of entertaining challenges, allowing the chef to relax and enjoy the journey of cooking and wine pairing.

She will also attend the 65th GRAMMY Awards which will be held February 5. Fans can expect a new recording from Dionne Warwick later in February: “Peace Like A River,” a duet with Dolly Parton. 

    Warwick said she was drawn to produce “HITS!” because of the exciting cast of young creatives. Her son Damon Elliot agreed, saying that the musical’s well known score will bring together families.

  • Harlem Stage to present Nikara Warren on Feb. 11

    On February 11, Harlem Stage, the performing arts center that bridges Harlem’s cultural legacy to contemporary artists of color, will welcome Nikara Warren for the next installment of its Uptown Nights Concert Series at Gatehouse. Warren will perform music from her acclaimed debut album, Black Wall Street.

    Nikara Warren

    A true Brooklynite, Warren was born and bred in the eclectic and electric borough among her family, her friends, her band, and her musical pedigree are a microcosm of the county at large. Granddaughter of world-renowned jazz pianist Kenny Barron, daughter of a half Trinidadian soca/dancehall lover father, and a classic 90s “Brooklyn ’Round the Way” girl mother, Warren is taking vibes to the people with her infectious compositional sense, her post-modern patchwork of influences and cultural signposts, and her fearless musicality. Her bold quest comes from being well-versed in the vibraphone lineage, but seeking to adventure beyond it.

    Warren’s debut album, Black Wall Street, represents a convergence of Nikara’s personal, cultural, familial, and musical journeys. Here, she explores abstract sound-collage, hip-hop, jazz, neo-soul, Afro-Latino and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and more. The through-line here being for Nikara — it’s all dance music. Her vision is cohesive but eclectic — just like how people’s identities are a product of their varied heritage and associations. Music critic Kira Grunenberg stated, “Black Wall Street doesn’t project its versatility and creative range through scholarly jazz arrangements or covers chasing perfectionism. Instead, it offers original music converged around a stylistically fluid foundation.”

    Joining Warren (vibraphone and raps) at Harlem Stage are Craig Hill (saxophone), Alonzo Demetrius (trumpet), Parker McAllister (electric bass), Corey Sanchez (electric guitar), Axel Tosca (keyboards), and David Frazier, Jr. (drums & sampling pad), plus special guests.

    With a long-standing tradition of supporting artists and organizations around the corner and across the globe, Harlem Stage boasts such legendary artists as Harry Belafonte, Max Roach, Sekou Sundiata, Abbey Lincoln, Sonia Sanchez, Eddie Palmieri, Maya Angelou, and Tito Puente, as well as contemporary artists like Mumu Fresh, Jason “Timbuktu” Diakité, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah, Tamar-kali, Vijay Iyer, Mike Ladd, Meshell Ndegeocello, Jason Moran, José James, Nona Hendryx, Bill T. Jones, and more. Harlem Stage’s education programs serve over 2,300 New York City school children each year.

    Tickets are $25-35 and can be purchased at harlemstage.org.

They capture joy, frustration, love, loss, and wonder of the human experience — in short: la brega.”

    – Alana Cassanova- Burgess 

    Doors opened at 7pm, where guests mingled and were welcomed by flavorsome food and drinks by the bar. Around 8pm guests made their way into a stunning fluorescent lit room, excited to hear from Alana, the electric band, Balún, and the exuberant DJ Christian Mártir.

  • Young The Giant Announces North American Tour With Milky Chance In New York

    Multi-platinum selling artist Young The Giant has announced a 2023 summer tour along with rock band, Milky Chance, making across the United States and Canada beginning May 30th in Montreal. In New York, you can catch the tour at Manhattan’s iconic Rooftop at Pier 17 and Niagara County’s Artpark. The tour will also feature special guests TALK and Rosa Linn. 

    The summer tour follows the release of American Bollywood, Young The Giant’s first album in four years. Established in 2004, the band showcases vocalist Sameer Gadhia, guitarist Jacob Tilley and Eric Cannata, Francois Comtois on the drums and bass player Payam Doostzadeh. American Bollywood was co-produced by John Hill and members of Young The Giant. 

    The four-part album can be enjoyed here via AWAL/Jungle Youth Records. With a majority of the lyrics written by the band’s lead singer with Indian ancestry, Sameer Gadhia, the album tells the multi-generational saga of the American immigrant, and the origins, exiles, battles, and denouement of reclaiming their collective identity. “This is not just the story of an Indian-American caught in between two worlds,” the band’s Sameer Gadhia previously said, “it’s also our universal search to find meaning in chaos.”

    “Epic doesn’t even begin to describe American Bollywood. Seismic in scope and intimate in nature, Young the Giant’s fifth studio album is a massive artistic statement; it’s the band’s most ambitious and sprawling project of their career”

    – Atwood Magazine
