Saturday, May 31 — Benoît Viellefon & The Hot Club at Henry Ward Hall
After smashing it in 2024 with sold out shows at Ronnies included an extensive tour across Asia, this is rare chance to catch Benoît and his Hot Club in a room as grand as the music itself! Expect swing, gypsy jazz, and the swagger and romance of 1930s Paris, all under the vaulted ceilings of Henry Ward Hall.

Wednesday, May 28 — Kelley Swindall at The Jenny Lind
All the way from Georgia by way of NYC, my longtime friend and class singer/songwriter, Kelley Swindall brings her whip-smart songcraft and Southern charm to The Jenny Lind. Think outlaw country meets East Village grit — with a voice that’s equal parts storytelling and sass.
