LEAVES: SONGS OF OURSELVES FOR PRIDE MONTH, FEAT. Claybourne Elder, Bradley Gibson, & MORE!

JUNE 27 AT 7:00 PM

"I celebrate myself, and what I assume you shall assume, for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you."

In celebration of Pride Month, Leaves: Songs of Ourselves celebrates gay icon Walt Whitman who, 160 years ago in New York City, turned the literary world upside down with his daring and affirming poems and left a legacy for LGBTQ people to find their history. Rodney Bush and Eric Rosen have created a cycle of songs that explore the joy, complexity, romance, and pleasure of being gay in 1855 and now.

Think Leaves of Grass, but with a folk/rock vibe and a chance to hang out with some of the hottest out actors on Broadway. A night of raucous fun, new music, and some of the greatest words ever written, Leaves is definitely more of a party than an English class, which honors the spirit of gay New York and its most famous chronicler.

Featuring Anthony Alfaro, Claybourne Elder, Bradley Gibson, Adam Hyndman, Zane Philips, and Katie Thompson. $55 cover charge. $90 premium seating. $25 food & beverage minimum.

ERIC WYATT & CHRISTINA CARMINUCCI: SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION, JAZZ MEETS TAP DANCE

JUNE 29 AT 9:30 PM

This performance will also be livestreamed. For tickets and more information, click here.

Join us as Eric Wyatt and Christina Carminucci (Nucci) deliver an exceptional performance at Feinstein's/54 Below, when jazz music meets tap dance in Spontaneous Combustion, a visual image of rhythm and melodies told through the classics of the Great American Songbook. Their memorable song catalog includes "Angelica" (Duke Ellington), "My Favorite Things" (Rodgers and Hammerstein), "If Ever I Would Leave You" (Frederick Loewe), "All Blues" (Miles Davis) & many more! Each of these composers has contributed greatly to our country's musical history.

Spontaneous Combustion highlights the marriage between a tap dancer and a live band, where the dancer is a member of the group like a trumpet or vocalist. Due to the show's improvisational nature, no two performances are alike, making each a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. The interplay between Eric, Christina, and the rest of the band is exhilarating and unlike anything you've ever seen before!

New York-based saxophonist Eric Wyatt and tap dancer Christina Carminucci push rhythmic boundaries and break new ground through this sonic exploration. The duo, both deeply rooted in their perspective craft, team up to display the historical connection between this dance and music in a performance you will never forget.

$35 cover charge. $60 premium seating. $25 food & beverage minimum.
