Tuesday, Dec. 21 - Thursday, Dec. 23 Yemen Blues with Opener Ahmed Alshaiba

Yemen Blues was founded by it's charismatic lead singer Ravid Kahalani in 2010. Yemen Blues draws on a powerful mixture of Yemenite, West African and Jazz influences. The mambo and North African rhythms create a joyful and deep foundation, while the vocals remind the listener of ancient Arabic chants and at the same time funk and blues. Yemen Blues brings audiences to their feet whether in a rock club or a concert hall. The sound is infectious, and the impulse to sway and sing-along becomes involuntary.

Sunday, Dec. 26 - Friday, Dec. 31 Sandra Bernhard: Bern It Down with Opener Unitard

Like a world war that finally ends in victory, we have come out the other side. A collective trial of patience, self-discipline & endless sheet pan dinners. Social distancing, eye frying Zoom meetings, shocks of gray hair, hours of TV, sleepless nights, long afternoon naps, avoiding heavy-breathing joggers, hand scrubbings, double masked glares at those too cavalier to bother wearing them, moving in with parents, abandoning the city, family freak-outs. Yes, slowly we are making our way out of the bunker, but do we really want it to be like it was? Sandy thinks not. She says "Bern It Down." Take it one step at a time. Maybe we just needed an overhaul. And if you're still finding it a little hard to get off of the sofa, we understand. Well, where better to break in your social skills than at Joe's Pub with Lady Bernhard's annual holiday show? A little bit of glamour, a touch of indulgence, a breezy melody and a couple of strong drinks. Sandy's back & so are you.
