Joseph Arthur & Nicole Atkins and Sonny Knight & the Lakers to Play City Winery This Weekend
Joseph Arthur and Nicole Atkins
Friday, November 25 at 8:00 p.m.
Critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated artist-singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur, who celebrates every New Year's Day at City Winery New York, closes out the show with his new album, The Family. A neon noir tour de force of hi-def late-night pop, internationally acclaimed American musician Nicole Atkins is a rare artist whose timeless songwriting and raw, emotional voice spans the ages. The miasma of faded glamour and nostalgic pop noir of her critically lauded début album, Neptune City (2007), secured her place in Rolling Stone's "Top 10 Artists To Watch," where they praised her "voice full of longing and Loretta Lynn elegance."

Sonny Knight & the Lakers exist in the afterglow that soul luminaries like Sam Cooke and Aretha Franklin created with their raucous, kinetic and supreme live performances. Their 2014 double LP Sonny Knight and the Lakers Do It Live is a loving return to the height of live Rhythm and Blues, with Knight and his band perfectly capturing the uproarious vibe and rebellious musicianship of an era long gone in their first live album release. A year of steady touring around the world has allowed the group to hone a seamless set, mixing songs from their critically acclaimed debut studio album, I'm Still Here, with a couple covers of classic soul songs, and re-imagined bits from Led Zeppelin and James Brown.
