Carolynn Black & The Blues - Reunion Show
The Bitter End147 Bleecker Street, New York 10012
Carolynn Black & The Blues return for a reunion show marking 25 years since the release of Let It Go, the group's debut album. Carolynn Schwartz Black is joined by original members Peter Margolis, Mitch Grossberg, Matt Baab, Mike Fumanto, plus special guests. The night revisits the band's catalogue through reimagined versions of its classic tunes, with the reunion built around the original lineup's return to the stage and the camaraderie of playing together again.
The band has roots on Bleecker Street, where Carolynn Black was once a regular. In 2005, Black moved to Wisconsin to start a family, stepping away from that New York chapter. This show brings her back to the city and reconnects her with the musicians who made Let It Go. The listing frames the occasion as both an anniversary for the debut record and a chance for its original members to jam together again, with additional guests joining the reunion.
The Bitter End has been a fixture of Greenwich Village since 1961, known as one of New York City's oldest rock clubs. It's a modest basement club with a stage and a bar, where the audience sits close to the performers. The room has exposed brick walls and a rustic feel, and the atmosphere is warm and conversational. Shows are typically ticketed with a small cover charge, and the evening combines listening to live music with casual conversation and drinks. The venue has hosted legends like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, and continues to be a place where songwriters and musicians share new material. It's a steady, reliable spot for live music in the city.
