October 28 at 7pm +39
Ginny's Supper Club · Harlem
A hidden basement supper club where gospel brunch Sundays turn into joyful singalongs with a live choir. The rest of the week brings jazz, soul food steakhouse fare, and a dance floor.
October 30 +25
The Terrace · Manhattan • $$
Tucked behind a tailor shop in Harlem, this intimate bar comes alive Thursdays with smooth R&B and DJs spinning through the weekend. Sip craft cocktails on the adorable terrace while the vibe keeps you lingering past midnight.
October 30 at 3:30am
Smalls Jazz Club · Manhattan • Free
When the last set wraps, the jazz keeps spinning: Vinyl After Hours turns Mezzrow's shoebox basement into a free late-night hang where records, night owls, and musicians mingle past midnight.
October 31 at 8:30pm (This weekend)
Baretto New York · Midtown • $40
Fifteen years in, All of Thee Above slides effortlessly from R&B and soul into jazz, rock, and Top 40. Expect velvet vocals from Jillian Grace and keys from Chad Selph, who's played with Lalah Hathaway and Bilal.
October 31 at 11:30am (This weekend) +33
Filé Gumbo Bar · Tribeca
Live jazz, bottomless brunch cocktails, and proper New Orleans soul food in a honey-hued Tribeca dining room. The All-In Tiny's Gumbo hits deep, the beignets are worth the trip alone, and the jazz trio somehow makes everything taste even better.
November 1 at 9:30pm (This weekend) +25
11th St. Bar · East Village • $$
Tony DeMarco (aka "the Trad-Father") leads NYC's longest-running Irish trad session every Sunday—high-spirited fiddles, flutes, and an electric atmosphere in a no-frills East Village dive.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
