Peter Calo In Concert
Don't Tell Mama343 West 46th Street, New York 10036
Peter Calo brings a concert set to Don’t Tell Mama with Paul Adamy on bass and Gary Schreiner on harmonica, accordion and piano. The billed lineup gives Calo a flexible three-piece setting, with Schreiner’s multiple keyboards and harmonica alongside Adamy’s bass. The show is scheduled to run about 65 minutes.
Calo is a guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer, though the available material does not establish where he is from. His own posts describe performances on voice and guitar, while other engagements have included bass and drums. A Niteline Exchange review calls him a “guitarist-vocalist” and praises his work with Susie Clausen. Commentary collected in his LinkedIn material describes him as “one of the most engaging performers in the biz,” in Time Out, London; Steve Morse of The Boston Globe calls him “a masterful guitarist.” The Daily Herald of Chicago wrote that one of his performances was “nothing short of original.”
Don't Tell Mama offers a distinctive cabaret experience with four separate spaces including a piano bar and two cabaret showrooms, where bartenders and servers often perform live music themselves. The venue features Mediterranean cuisine alongside a full bar, with a cash-only policy for food and drinks. Seating is limited and first come, first served, so arriving early is wise to secure a spot. Shows typically start in the evening with a 2-drink minimum and ticketed entry, often featuring multiple sets and a mix of seasoned headliners and rising talent. The room’s walls and layout create a close connection between performers and audience, making it a place to truly listen and engage with the music. Located on Restaurant Row in the Theater District, it blends dining and entertainment in a lively yet focused setting.
