Celebrated singer-songwriter Elvis Costello has announced 100 Songs and More, a ten-night run at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City set to take place from February 9th–22nd, 2022. Costello will perform a unique set on each night of the residency, presented by Citi. The first five nights will be solo shows, with nights five through nine featuring Costello alongside his longtime pianist, Steve Nieve. The final night on February 22nd is simply billed as the “Finale”.
The setlists for the ten shows will mix the element of surprise with the element of anticipation. In addition to a pre-set, printed program of ten specific songs per night in NYC, Elvis Costello will select a number of other surprise tunes to round out each performance. Songs printed in each night’s program will only appear at that show during the 100 Songs and More run. Overall, Costello aims to play more than 200 unique selections from his 600+ song catalog of originals and other favorites during his stay at the Gramercy Theatre.

The lauded lyricist offered a few stanzas to the press to convey his anticipation for the 100 Songs and More residency at New York’s Gramercy Theatre. Read them below:
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
