Matana Roberts brings an exceptional night of music on New Year’s Eve to the Whitney Museum with red, white and blue(s), a sound quilt of sorts.

We can’t wait for Feb 13, when Hunter Valentine plays The Bowery Ballroom. Now based in Brooklyn, the “fiercely intoxicating” all-girl band has been power rocking stages all over North America for more than a decade. Don’t miss this one-night-only performance, the only NYC stop on their “So Long for Now” tour. So long for now? Yep, the band has announced that they’re going on hiatus and moving on to “a new chapter.” We’re in denial.
