Morgan Bassichis: In Concert with Amy Winehouse, presented in partnership with Under the Radar - utrfest.org
Joe's Pub425 Lafayette Street, New York 10003
Morgan Bassichis brings In Concert with Amy Winehouse to Joe’s Pub in Manhattan in partnership with Under the Radar. The comedian revisits Winehouse’s 2007 concert at this room, recreating a performance that marked Winehouse’s first live appearance in the United States. The billing frames the evening around that specific Joe’s Pub set rather than a standard Bassichis concert, with no additional performers or collaborators identified in the available show information.
The available material identifies Morgan Bassichis as a comedian and does not establish a hometown, instruments, or a regular musical formation. It also gives no collaborators for this presentation and no critical assessments to quote. What is clear is the historical point of reference: Amy Winehouse’s 2007 Joe’s Pub appearance, presented here through Bassichis’s recreation as part of Under the Radar. The sources likewise do not say who Bassichis has previously played with or describe any other work in detail at all.
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.
