Hello all!
I hope you enjoyed checking out Webster Hall as our first venue. If you do have any questions or comments about said venue, please do contact us at BringBDtoEC@gmail.com. But enough about Webster Hall for now, let's get to what we're all here for: bringing the boys to the East Coast!
While the first venue was geared more towards the adults, but I do believe an all-ages venue is in order, so take a look at Joe's Pub!
(A little fun fact: Darren Criss from Glee just performed here!)
Enjoy!

History:
Joe's Pub at The Public Theater debuted in October 1998 and
has quickly became one of New York City's most celebrated and in-demand
showcase venues for live music and performance. With its genre-blind booking
and vast diversity of interests, the stage at Joe's Pub gives voice to a world
of varied and stellar artists.
With impeccable sound and lights, the warm and intimate
candlelit atmosphere of Joe's Pub is filled with plush velvet couches, softly
glowing lucite tables and gorgeously understated architecture. Joe’s Pub is
open seven days a week, regularly hosting as many as three shows a day. Dinner
and drink service is available during every performance; the venue offers a
classic Italian dinner menu and a fully stocked bar.
The Village Voice voted Joe's Pub the “Best Excuse to Let a
Single Venue Dictate Your Taste”. Newsweek calls the club "one of the
country's best small stages" and New York Magazine raves “you never know
what you’ll find next at Joe’s Pub, but you can count on the fact that it will
be good, very good."
In addition to our reputation of presenting internationally
known stars, Joe’s Pub has also developed into a premier showcase stage for
up-and-coming musicians and emerging artists from a variety of disciplines. In
2008 & 2009, this not-for-profit performance space has provided a home for
the very best in pop and rock, both classic (Judy Collins, Fountains of Wayne,
Bob Mould, John Doe, Jill Sobule, Bernie Worrell, The Proclaimers) and new
(Adele, Sara Bareilles, Lykke Li, Sondre Lerche, Balthrop, Alabama, Keren Ann,
Joe Pug, Doveman, Marissa Nadler); world

Pam Ann, Our Hit Parade, Anna Copa Cabanna, Judy Gold, Lady Rizo and the
Assettes, Isaac Mizrahi, Shells); dance (Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca,
Mythli Prakash, David Parker & The Bang Group); and the stars of Broadway
(The Cast of Hair: Be In, Kelli O’Hara, Norm Lewis, Jackie Hoffman, LaChanze, The Cast of Spring Awakening, Eden
Espinosa) and the silver screen (Patrick Wilson, Sandra Bernhard, Jay Brannan).
