"The first time this reporter saw Smith perform live, it was at Manhattan's Hammerstein Ballroom in fall 2014. Smartly suited all in black, with their hair perfectly coifed, the British breakout dazzled the modest venue with their exquisite voice, singing a slew of newly notched hits including "Latch," "La La La" and "I'm Not the Only One." One Oscar, three arena tours and five Grammy Awards later, Smith is back and enchanting audiences with a 24-show residency at Warsaw in Brooklyn,"
""Talking about bed, I woke up with a really stiff neck," Smith drolly bantered at the top of the evening on Oct. 15. "I'm getting older, it's really intense! So if you came to see me whip my hair tonight, it's not going to happen." Smith went on to explain that they've been touring since they were 21, and found performing in massive arenas to be both "incredible" yet "intense.""
Sam Smith is performing a 24-show residency at the Warsaw in Brooklyn, returning to smaller, more intimate venues after years of arena tours. The Warsaw is a historic, baroque space holding about 1,000 people in a standing-room-only setting, echoing the types of venues where Smith began. Smith moved to New York last year and described playing intimate shows as a dream, appreciating the chance to easily perform and reconnect. Smith has toured since age 21, called arenas both incredible and intense, and sought this residency to look fans in the eye and reconnect after ten intense years.
