Fenne Lily, Wilby
The Sultan Room234 Starr Street, New York 11237
Fenne Lily and Wilby share a bill at The Sultan Room in Brooklyn. The listing gives no set order, guest appearance, release tie-in, tribute, or other special framing for the night, simply presenting the two acts together. It is a 16+ event, with attendees under 16 admitted alongside a legal guardian. The Sultan Room’s standing-room floor gathers close to its low stage, while a limited number of peripheral booths offer seating for quieter listening.
Wilby is the Brooklyn-based artist billed here as Wilby, and their Bandcamp page identifies releases titled Center of Affection and Center of Affection (Deluxe). The available material does not establish whether Wilby performs solo or as a group, nor does it describe their musical approach, collaborators, or live setup. It also provides no critical assessments or reviewer quotations. Beyond the event listing’s confirmation that Fenne Lily and Wilby are appearing together, no supplied source offers background on Fenne Lily’s formation, repertoire, collaborators, or reception. What is clear is a Brooklyn bill that places Wilby’s locally rooted catalog alongside Fenne Lily at the Sultan Room.
Conceived as the nightclub counterpart to a resurrected 1930s Wisconsin supper club, this 201-capacity venue pairs elaborate retro-futuristic decor with a high-end d&b audiotechnik sound system, functioning seamlessly as both a live performance stage and a late-night dance spot. The room centers around a sunken floor where crowds gather right against the low stage, flanked by small peripheral booths for seated listeners during quieter sets. Shows are ticketed in advance, with programming shifting between live touring bands, global ensembles, and late-night DJ sets that keep the floor active past 2:00 AM. Between sets, patrons can order drinks from the full bar, step up to the rooftop terrace, or grab a late-night bite from the attached Döner Kebab counter and neighboring dining room.
