Returning for the first time since it was initially staged in 2004, JOE'S PUB IN THE PARK Music Series captures the quality and range of performances that have made Joe's Pub one of the most acclaimed and popular clubs in New York City. Pub in the Park brings that talent and diversity into the Public Theater's most visible and accessible venue, the annual home of Shakespeare in the Park.
"The artists chosen for this series are performers who best represent the vision that makes Joe's Pub special:many of them are artists who we consider to be 'family," said Director of Joe's Pub Bill Bragin. "Over the course of this two-week series, we are offering a snapshot of the caliber and range of talent that devotees find at Joe's Pub almost every night, all year round. We're proud to be able to offer these fantastic musicians a larger audience and a grander platform at The Delacorte Theater, a New York City treasure and one of the finest stages in the world"
