Hamilton Leithauser, an Indie-Rock Hero in a Very Fancy Room
Briefly

Hamilton Leithauser continues his annual residency at Cafe Carlyle, an intimate venue in Manhattan with only 90 seats, introducing his new album, 'This Side of the Island.' During his first performance there in 2018, he learned the importance of engaging directly with the audience. Leithauser's latest work sounds more urgent and frenetic compared to his previous releases, which he acknowledges will provide a fresh challenge in the cozy setting. Despite the challenges of the pandemic, he remains committed to creating genuine connections with his listeners while performing his new music.
Even by Manhattan real estate standards, Cafe Carlyle is an intimate venue with just 988 square feet and 90 seats, requiring performers to engage closely with the audience.
Leithauser's new album, 'This Side of the Island,' carries a more frenetic and urgent sound, adding an interesting dimension to his upcoming performances at the Carlyle.
