Looking for last minute weekend plans? Not into the whole
Halloween party scene? Why not spend your weekend off relaxing and checking out
some live music!
There are a lot of big shows happening in New York this
weekend. From the country crossover sounds of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to the
disco stylings of Gloria Gaynor to the pop-rock of Andy Grammer and the pop-punk
of Fall Out Boy and New Found Glory, among others, the city will be bustling
with music of all genres.
Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s music outlet, loves live music.
That’s why we’ve searched the web for the biggest shows happening in New York
this weekend. Here are seven that we think will be worth spending your hard
earned cash on.
1.
Tim
McGraw and Faith Hill: Country music power couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill
is on the road together for the first time in a decade, bringing back their ‘Soul2Soul’
tour for a third run. The tour follows the announcement of the duo’s first
joint album, ‘The Rest Of Our Life,’ which will be released November 17. As these
are two of country music’s top crossover acts, this is already bound to be a
great show with a lot of love sprinkled on top. (Friday, Barclays Center)
2.
Gloria
Gaynor: Gloria Gaynor is bringing disco back for a one-off show tonight at
B.B. King Blues Club. The singer is promoting her new charity, IWillSurvive.org,
which celebrates survivors of all kinds. She is also currently working on a new
gospel album, ‘Testimony,’ so who knows, you might even get to hear some of her
first new music in four years. (Friday, B.B. King Blues Club)
3.
Cloud
Nothings: Cloud Nothings are taking a break from their tour with
Japandroids to play a surprise solo show at Rough Trade tonight. The indie-rock
band released their fifth album, ‘Life Without Sound,’ in January to positive
reviews. (Friday, Rough Trade NYC)
4.
Fall Out Boy: Fall Out Boy have been playing
around a lot with their sound lately, releasing a new album, ‘M A N I A,’ this
January that strips away their pop punk past to include elements of electronic
rock and EDM. So far the change in sound has worked for them, as the band has
been getting more airplay over the last five years than when they first broke
out with ‘From Under The Cork Tree’ in 2005. Be prepared to hear the rest of
the crowd singing over Patrick Stump. (Saturday, Barclays Center)
5.
New Found Glory: Back for another round of their
20th anniversary tour, New Found Glory play two shows this weekend,
each of which will, again, find the band playing some of their albums in full
each night along with a second set of their hits. Saturday show goers will get
to hear ‘Sticks & Stones’ and ‘Resurrection,’ while Sunday show goers will
get to hear their self-titled album and ‘From the Screen to Your Stereo.’
Tickets are low for both shows, so act quickly. (Saturday & Sunday, Warsaw)
6.
Andy Grammer: After breaking out in 2014 with
his single “Honey I’m Good,” Andy Grammer became an overnight sensation. And
with good reason, as his music is upbeat, bright and sure to put a smile on
your face. (Sunday, Paramount Huntington)
7.
Josh
Ritter: If you’re looking for some folk rock, Josh Ritter will be bringing
his tour with his Royal City Band to New York this weekend. He released his
ninth studio album, ‘Gathering,’ in September to outstanding reviews. (Sunday,
Brooklyn Steel)
These are some of the big shows hitting New York this
weekend. Check out these or any of the other amazing shows happening around the
area and spend your time off enjoying great live music.
