Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb makes her Café Carlyle debut, June 6-17.
The trailblazing independent artist's musical career was launched with the platinum-selling #1 hit song "Stay (I Missed You)" from the GenX film Reality Bites; notably, she was the first unsigned artist to have a #1 single.
Lisa is excited to spend some time in the city where she honed her craft in her early years: from The Bitter End & CBGB's downtown all the way up to the Upper East Side's iconic Café Carlyle.
Lisa adds, "It fits my style so well. I tell stories, I play acoustic guitar, and I perform songs from my entire catalog. The Café Carlyle is the perfect place to entertain and for people to listen."
Performances will take place Tuesday - Saturday at 8:45pm. Reservations made by phone at 212.744.1600 are $75 ($125 for premium seating, $55 for bar seating) Tuesday - Thursday; $90 ($130 for premium seating, $70 for bar seating) on Friday and Saturday. Reservations can also be made online via Ticketweb. Café Carlyle is located in The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel (35 East 76th Street, at Madison Avenue).
Loeb launched into the spotlight with her song "Stay (I Missed You)." As American Songwriter noted in 2014, it was "a song that not only succinctly summed up that era but also managed to transcend it." Lisa followed that remarkable feat with the hit singles "Do You Sleep," "I Do" and "Let's Forget About It" and the albums Cake and Pie and No Fairy Tale. Her albums Tails and Firecracker were both certified Gold. Lisa Loeb's distinctive and approachable style of songwriting and performance has earned her many fans around the globe.
Lisa continues to craft irresistible pop songs for the 21st century, while writing children's books, designing Lisa Loeb Eyewear and supporting non-profit causes including The Camp Lisa Foundation. Her newest? album Feel What U Feel (available exclusively on Amazon) features guest artists Craig Robinson and Ed Helms. Lisa also tours internationally, sharing her music from yesterday, today and tomorrow. Whether writing songs or acting in films and TV, composing songs for the Amazon Originals animated series If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, or voicing characters in kids shows like Creative Galaxy, Loeb is forever the fearless performer, constantly creative and can't help but be engaged in some kind of storytelling. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the New York Times crossword puzzle, Lisa has collaborated with puzzle pro Doug Peterson on their very own New York Times crossword puzzle to be released this spring.

Since composer Richard Rodgers moved in as The Carlyle's first tenant, music has been an essential part of The Carlyle experience. No place is that more evident than in the Café Carlyle.
Café Carlyle is known for talents including Woody Allen, who regularly appears on Monday evenings to play with thE Eddy Davis New Orleans jazz band. For three decades, Café Carlyle was synonymous with the legendary Bobby Short, who thrilled sell-out crowds for 36 years. His spirit lives on through the music at Café Carlyle.
Continuing the tradition of the 1930s supper club, Café Carlyle features original murals created by French artist Marcel Vertès, the Oscar-winning art director of the 1952 Moulin Rouge. Follow The Carlyle Hotel on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
