Each concert will feature a diverse and unique set of Maté originals and cover tunes along with a different group of special musical guests. Max Friedman produces.

Showtimes are: Tuesday, December 9 at 7pm; Friday, December 12 at 9:15pm; Sunday, December 14 at 7pm. There is a $10 cover charge plus a two-drink minimum, and can be reserved by phone at (212) 757-0788 or online at www.donttellmamanyc.com/shows.

Maté's longstanding collaborations with composer Will Aronson (The Trouble With Doug) will also be featured.

The December 12th show will feature Liz Lark Brown, Victoria Huston-Elem, Max Friedman, Grace McLean (Bedbugs!!!), and Noah Zachary. The concert will include musical contributions from Fred Lassen, Charlie Rosen, and Jeff Roberts.

The December 14th show will feature Hannah Elless (Bright Star), Shannon O' Boyle (Once), Will Roland, Bob Stillman (Grey Gardens), and Jason Tam (If/Then). The band will be comprised of Fred Lassen, Justin Goldner, and Hiroyuki Matsuura.
