Jacob Khalil
Arthur's Tavern57 Grove Street, New York 10014
Jacob Khalil brings a late set to Arthur’s Tavern, performing as the New York City-based singer, pianist, and songwriter behind a forthcoming debut album, Rest Of My Life. The evening centers on Khalil’s original songs, which the venue describes as uplifting, with jazz influences filtered through a fresh modern sensibility. No additional musicians or special guests are listed for this performance.
A Texas native, Khalil moved to New York City in 2020 and has become a regular at Birdland, City Winery, and Mercury Lounge. He has headlined sold-out shows at Birdland and performed on Saturday Night Live with Sam Smith. FOX 5 NY praised him for “a voice that soothes the soul,” while The New Yorker called him “affable and sunny.” His work has drawn comparisons to John Legend and Harry Connick Jr., and Rest Of My Life is due for release this summer before a U.S. tour.
Arthur's Tavern is a basement club in the West Village where jazz, Latin, and blues are played with deep roots and modern energy. The stage is small, the room intimate, and the audience sits close to the musicians, often with a few people standing near the back. Shows start around 5 PM and go late, with some sets extending into the early hours. The club has a history of hosting top-tier performers since 2001, including regular appearances by Yuichi Hirakawa Jazz Group. It's a place where music is the center, and conversation flows naturally between the audience and the performers.
