Elvis Costello will present “100 Songs And More,” a 10-concert residency at New York City’s Gramercy Theatre between February 9 and 22. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, September 23 at 10 a.m. ET with pre-sale tickets available starting tomorrow (Wednesday, September 21) at 10 a.m. ET using ELVISNYC as the code. Buy Elvis Costello tickets via Ticketmaster.
The renowned musician will play a different show each night. The first five concerts will be solo performances, while the final five nights will find Costello joined by longtime pianist Steve Nieve. Elvis plans to play over 200 different songs over the course of the run. Shows are slated for February 9-11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20 and 22.
Elvis Costello shared the following in regards to the residency:
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 routineEach 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 haulI 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
Costello revealed 10 songs he will play each night. He will then “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,” as per a press release.
