Jenn Grinels comes to Chelsea Table + Stage to celebrate Western Heart, her latest project and a collaboration with lyricist and poet Alfred Howard. The billed performance introduces this new artistic evolution through songs that trace ambition, longing, love, and the passage of time, set against imagery reaching from desert horizons to the western shoreline. Expect a songwriter-led evening built around Grinels’ storytelling and voice.
An award-winning vocalist and songwriter, Grinels is known for soul-baring performances that can move from vulnerability to full-throated power. Her music occupies a space the listing calls “part folk noir, part roots-Americana,” while emphasizing that the result is wholly her own. She has developed a grassroots following and has shared stages with 10,000 Maniacs, Marc Cohn, and Marc Broussard. For this show, that established live presence meets the focused world of Western Heart and its writing partnership with Howard.
Chelsea Table + Stage offers a unique blend of live performance and dining in a stylish space that seats around 120 guests, ensuring a close-up experience with the artists. The venue combines elements of a cabaret and supper club, where you can enjoy a curated lineup of music, comedy, and theater while seated at tables that encourage attentive listening. The room’s design brings the stage near every seat, making the sound and sightlines excellent even from the back. A full bar and elevated dining options complement the performances, creating an evening that feels both engaging and refined. Shows are ticketed, so securing your spot ahead is recommended. The venue’s focus on artist-driven events and a warm, inviting setting makes it a place where culture and community intersect for memorable nights.
