Alice Smith
Joe's Pub425 Lafayette Street, New York 10003
Alice Smith plays Joe’s Pub in Manhattan on December 12. The available information bills the night simply under Smith’s name, with no accompanying performer lineup, set format, guest appearance, release celebration, tribute, or other program details announced. It is a late evening performance at the Public Theater’s music room, where audiences hear the show from tables and lounge seating near the stage.
No act biography, hometown, collaborators, recordings, or critical descriptions are provided in the available material. As a result, there is no reliable basis here to distinguish this Alice Smith from other artists with the same name or to characterize the music beyond the bill itself. The venue is Joe’s Pub, a Manhattan listening room in a converted library space that has hosted both emerging artists and established performers, with sound overseen by engineers whose past work includes John Legend and The Notorious B.I.G.
The stage is set in a converted library space with a striped bar and photos of legends like Leonard Cohen and Amy Winehouse lining the walls. You'll find yourself seated on velvet couches or at candle-lit tables, close enough to hear every note from the back. The sound, engineered by technicians who've worked with John Legend and The Notorious B.I.G., is consistently ranked among the best in New York. Three shows a day, dinner and drinks served throughout, and a menu ranging from Italian small plates to craft cocktails; it's a place where music and conversation flow together, and where both rising stars and legends have made their U.S. debuts.
