Happy Labor Day! Check out our guide to the best shows this weekend. You can also browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows, but here are some highlights…
Kanye West @ Madison Square Garden
Kanye West is quite possibly in his least predictable year ever. He’s already released several versions of The Life of Pablo, and it doesn’t seem unlikely that more updates are on the way. He also says he has other albums coming this year, and it pretty much seems like a 50/50 chance of whether or not we’ll actually get to hear those. He’s on tour now, and will surely do something crazy at each show.
Frankie Rose, Promise Keeper, Cantina, Nicholas Nicholas @ Shea Stadium
Frankie Rose is keeping a low profile these days, wrapping up work on her third album as we speak. She may break out some new songs Monday night at this all-around good show featuring Promise Keeper (Will from Mood Rings), plus Cantina and Nicholas Nicholas.
Mandingo Ambassadors @ Union Pool
Fronted by griot-guitarist Mamady Kouyaté, The Mandingo Ambassodors have been bringing the sound of Guinea to NYC for over ten years. This is a free show.
Anais Mitchell @ Rockwood Music Hall
Indie folk singer Anais Mitchell is playing every Monday at Rockwood Music Hall in September, this being the first of four shows. Sold out.
