Shows will include artists who had their U.S. debuts, recorded live albums or got their break at Joe’s Pub. Events in the celebration include “10 For The 10th,” a series of 10 free shows over the course of one weekend in October, the Country Music Association’s Songwriter Series and cabaret-style performances by Sandra Bernhard, Jackie Hoffman and Billy Porter.
“The 10th anniversary is a great opportunity for us to reflect on the immense breadth of talent that has come through our doors while continuing to set the standard for live entertainment in New York, the country, and the world,” said Joe’s Pub Director Shanta Thake. “We have created a space where literally anything is possible.
