Joe's Pub425 Lafayette Street, New York 10003
Morgan Bassichis revisits Amy Winehouse’s 2007 Joe’s Pub debut with a live ensemble: Matt Ray on musical direction and piano, Joel Mateo on percussion, Derek Nievergelt on bass, and Ethan Philbrick on cello.
Bassichis is a writer and performer whose solo works include Can I Be Frank?, A Crowded Field, Klezmer for Beginners and More Protest Songs!. Can I Be Frank?, about queer comedian Frank Maya, won two 2026 Obie Awards; The New Yorker called Bassichis “fiercely hilarious.”
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.
