This is a groupmuse

A live concert in a living room, backyard, or another intimate space. They're casual and friendly, hosted by community members.

Host

Step inside a stunning Tribeca loft that doubles as a private museum — sculptures and artwork from Buddhist and Eastern traditions adorn every corner, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and transportive.

The evening features wine, hors d'oeuvres, and two 50-minute sets from a pair of guitarists whose combined 65 years of playing span continents and genres.

Rodrigo Valdez brings the fire and precision of Miami flamenco, while Brooklyn's Michael Hewett weaves psychedelic classical and electric textures with live looping and effects. Together they create a musical conversation that moves from the ancient to the avant-garde.
Doors at 7pm. Space is limited.
