  • NY Philhamonic To Present The U.S premiere of  “Émigré” This Spring

    The New York Philharmonic will perform the U.S Premiere of Émigré, in February 29 and March 1 at the Wu Tsai Theater in David Geffen Hall at Lincoln Center.

    Émigré

    Founded 1842, The New York Philharmonic is one of the most leading American orchestras and one of the one of the oldest musical institutions in the country. The orchestra was then just called the Philharmonic Society of New York and it was the third Philharmonic on American soil since 1799. 

    Émigré explores the little-known moment in history with an opulent, romantic score; beautiful music that exists in stark contrast to the reality that many went through. Different genres and styles converge in Zigman’s music, reflecting the rich and diverse musical landscape of 1930s Shanghai, known as “the Paris of the East.” 

    The premier in February 29 and March 1 will be semi-staged, featuring costumes and visual projection elements that will complement the music and showcase the city of Shanghai from various perspectives. Director Mary Birnbaum says, “Ultimately, we see this story as a contemporary vigil for those who find themselves far away from home,” and adds that Émigré is about “citizens of the world protecting each other.”Émigré, a musical of drama, hope, love and refuge composed by Aaron Zigman, with lyrics by Mark Campbell and Brock Walsh, conducted by Long Yu, and directed by Mary Birnbaum.

    Tickets to the performances my be purchased online, or at the Welcome Center at David Geffen Hallor by calling (212) 875-5656.

  • Odesza To Bring “The Last Goodbye Finale” Tour To MSG This Summer

    Electronic-duo Odesza have announced they are embarking on a farewell tour with support from Bob Moses, Ben Böhmer, Drama and Golden Features. The Last Goodbye Finale features two dates at MSG on June 21 and 22.

    the last goodbye finale gorge odesza

    The Odesza duo consists of Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight and the two formed their electro pop band in 2012 shortly before they graduated from Western Washington University. The band took their name influence from the name of Mill’s uncle’s sunket vessel named after the Ukrainian city of Odessa. Since the spelling of “Odessa” was already being used by another Scottish synth band, the duo instead chose to use a form of the Hungarian spelling replacing “ss” with “sz” as in Odesza.

    In April 2013, the duo released the deluxe edition of The Last Goodbye album addinging singles “Hopeful” and “Two Be Yours”, as well as VIP remixes of “All We Need” and “Sun Models”, which had previously only been performed live. The duo later announced their  “The Last Goodbye” tour in support of the album which began in June of 2022, totaling over 40 shows across North America. The Chill wave duo appeared in major music festivals including Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Lollapalooza and Life Is Beautiful. 

    In January 2024, the duo announced a “Finale” slate of performances for the album, scheduled for Summer 2024 with two stops at the Madison Square Garden on June 21 and 22.

    Early access to tickets, VIP and travel packages starts on Wednesday, January 31 at 10 am with ODESZA’s Artist Presale, while the General on sale begins on February 2 and fans can access the tickets here.

  • Daniel Donato to Play Shows in NYC and Syracuse in February

    Acclaimed singer/songwriter Daniel Donato has announced he will be playing two shows in NY in support of his latest album Reflector.

    The “Cosmic Country” artist plans on stopping at Syracuse’s Westcott Theater on Saturday, February 10 and NYC’s Bowery Ballroom on Tuesday, February 13, showcasing Donato’s growing appeal and sound.

    Daniel Donato shows

    Donato’s genre “cosmic country” is a meshing of southern rock, bluegrass, classic country, and honky-tonk. It encapsulates the sounds of Southern California folk and Northern California musical exploration. His show marks the release of his recent 15 track album Reflector, in which he will be performing at his shows in Syracuse on February 10 and NYC on February 13.

    Daniel Donato has a unique sound that he wants to show the world, and he’s been doing exactly that. His blended soundscape is full of energy, soul, and vibrations. His creative processes, next-level guitar skills, and dedication to his craft propel him to satisfy his goals, and then some.

    “I fell in love with the song “Jessica” on Guitar Hero, the Allman Brothers song. I remember thinking, ‘God, if I can just play this song and feel like I’m flying…’ And then here we are fifteen years later, it’s March 25th and we’re at the Beacon Theatre, it’s a sold-out night, and after we get done singing ‘Blue Sky’ in my solo, before I even think about it, I’m playing ‘Jessica’.

    As I’m playing that and the theater erupts with joy, I’m realizing, like, ‘Man, good job. That 12-year-old is alive. The part of you, that Self, that was you before the world told you what you were or what you could be or what you should be.’”

    Daniel Donato on staying true to oneself

  • Mt. Joy Heads To Madison Square Garden on Upcoming Tour

    Indie rock band Mt. Joy have announced their 2024 headline tour throughout North America and Europe, with support from Zach Bryan and Noah Kahan. The five-piece band will make their debut at Madison Square Garden on Sept. 28.

    Mt. Joy Madison Square Garden

    With the tour set to kick off on April 6 in Teton Village in WY, the Alt-rock band will headline in their hometown of Philadelphia on Sept. 20 at the Mann Music Center. After the success of their 2023 shows at the Mann, Mt. Joy including Sotiris Eliopoulos on drums, Jackie Miclau on keyboards, and Michael Byrnes on bass, Matt Quinn vocals and guitar with guitarist Samm Cooper will once again partner with Philadelphia’s Sharing Access to host a non-perishable food drive before making their stop at the Madison Square Garden on September 28, marking the first time Mt. Joy has headlined MSG.

    Sharing Excess (SE) is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit that uses surplus food as a solution to scarcity. While over 40 million people in the US face food insecurity, nearly 40% of the nation’s food supply is going to waste. The organization’s mission is to bridge the gap between excess and scarcity by partnering with grocery stores, restaurants, wholesalers, and farmers to deliver surplus food to a network of nonprofits, food banks, and community organizations to alleviate local food insecurity. The organization also works with over 200 food businesses to deliver 10 million meals annually to over 330 organizations and 38 pop-up distribution locations across 66 zip codes in Mt. Joy’s hometown Philadelphia.

    Founded in 2016 by vocalist/ guitarist Matt Quinn with guitarist Samm Cooper, the band first released their debut single “Astrovan” which led to the massive success of the band as they went to perform at festivals and on tour throughout North America and Europe. After their tour with Lumineers was cut short due to a pandemic, Mt. Joy released their second studio album Rearrange in 2020, and then their third album, Orange Blood in the summer of 2022. 

    The band will continue their worldwide tour throughout 2024 and ticket for all Mt. Joy shows, including Madison Square Garden, can be purchased here.

  • Juliana Hatfield Live in NYC at City Winery

    Juliana Hatfield performed at the intimate City Winery Main Stage on January 28 in NYC. Outside of her solo work, Juliana is known for her involvement in indie rock acts such as Blake Babies and The Lemonheads. Opening for her was Leslie Mendelson. Leslie opened the show with an acoustic set of originals and cover songs. Juliana then took the stage and performed a solo set filled with older deep cuts, songs from her 2021 album Blood, and excerpts from cover albums she’s released in the last few years.

    In November, Juliana released an album of Electric Light Orchestra covers. Motifs of loneliness and escapism were apparent. Even in a room filled with people, you could feel these prevailing themes. Substituting parts of ELO’s full orchestra, Juliana made her own adjustments that added a unique personal spin to the songs. On her record, Juliana used vocal keyboards to emulate the string instruments to accompany the lead guitar.

    This album followed two other cover collections Juliana has released, including The Police and Olivia Newton-John. The blue twinkling lights that filled City Winery’s ceiling felt like the perfect throwback to the cosmic imagery of ELO’s early stage shows. The crowd was equally entranced by both her performance and witty stage banter.

  • Hearing Aide: PEAK “Hot Clips Volume 3”

    PEAK has dropped the third installment in their ongoing live series, with Hot Clips Volume 3, released on January 5.

    Culled from performances in 2023, Hot Clips Volume 3 features some of the band’s favorite recent performances. Specifically, this album shows what the band – Jeremy Hilliard (guitar and vocals), Johnny Young (keys and vocals), Josh T. Carter (bass and vocals), Kito Bovenschulte (drums), Nate Searing (drums on “Idyllwild Flower”) – are looking for in a jam of group interaction, transcendent moments that come naturally and without force, and happen organically.

    Mixed and Mastered by Johnny Young and Jeremy Hilliard and engineered by Michelle Young, the songs range from older PEAK staples to unreleased tracks appearing on the next studio album. Covers on the album include a reimagined version of Woody Guthrie’s “Pastures of Plenty,” and a stretched-out take on the Led Zeppelin classic “The Song Remains the Same.”
