New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Elvis Costello has announced "100 Songs and More," a ten-night run at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City between Feb 9 and Feb 22, 2023 Presented By Citi.
Costello will perform a completely different set each night, the first five nights solo and the following nights with his longtime pianist Steve Nieve, ultimately playing more than 200 different songs picked from his vast 600+ song catalog and other favorites.
Citi is the official card of the
Elvis Costello residency. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday,
September 20th at 10AM local time until Thursday,
September 22 at 10PM local time through the Citi Entertainment program. For complete presale details visit www.citientertainment.com.
Tickets will go on sale on
September 23. More details below.
Costello writes:
For ten nights at the Gramercy Theatre
I'll name ten songs to set the scene
I'll play those ten and then ten more
Shake off the old routine
Each night will tell a different tale
So come to one or come to all
"100 Songs" is what I promise
But twice that number is quite a haul
I will start this stand alone, that's fine
Nights One to Five, the Feast Day of St. Valentine
Steve Nieve will join me for Nights Six, Seven, Eight & Nine
But what else may happen is a secret of mine
Let's just set up the chair or two and play
In case some friends turn up along the way
Apart from a printed program of ten songs per night, Costello will select a number of other tunes to be played impromptu, completing each performance without repeating any songs from the printed program over the ten-night stand, although it's safe to assume that a couple of well-known tunes may serve as an encore.
