You may notice a new name in the mix today, but if you’ve been kicking around baby’s for the last, well, ever, you’ll know Manny well. He’s a beloved member of the family, cool, calm, has great taste, and keeps it all on lock for you all, every nite. He steers the ship, basically. Happy to have his two cents here, everyone say hey Manny !! - Caroline
MONDAY:
U.S. GIRLS - last time I saw US Girls was on the final night of The Dance. Gone, not forgotten <3 Excellent band, ‘In A Poem Unlimited’ a near perfect album. - Alex
Very cool and well established indie psych pop rock band from Toronto. Here's a recent live video, obviously extremely well produced and cared for music. - Manny
World-class art pop. It's undeniably great music! Zach Phillips from Fievel Is Glauque on the decks. Going to sell out! Going to be an exciting night! - Carson
I last saw U.S. Girls at Outline fest in 2023 and it blew me away. It’s glamorous, humungous music, and I can only imagine how beautifully it’ll fill the space at baby. - Caroline
TUESDAY:
FRANCES WHITNEY - earnest indie folk with beautiful production. Feels like it’s been a big year for this vibe. New EP out a couple weeks ago, get yourself acquainted. - Alex
Soft tender songs, singer-song writer from San Franscico. Big on Tik-tok with the kids but seems like she has a lot more going for her than that. Should be a wholesome night. - Manny
Lovely songwriter from out West! - Carson
Easy listenin, a lovely early tuesday. - Caroline
THEMIND - hip hop with a driving beat. Ms Communication gives a bit of a Channel Tres energy. - Alex
Philly artist who is now based in Chicago. A little bit of everything! Can rap, sing and producer. The vibes should be great. This song is great - Manny
Really good R&B, Hip-Hop & More! This one's smokey. Good band. His voice reminds me of Dijon a bit. I love all that stuff btw. - Carson
Very very good rnb, sexy thumpin beats and grooves. Definitely hearing what Alex and Carson hear in Channel Tres and Dijon, I’d also venture Anderson Paak. - Caroline
WEDNESDAY:
NEFESH MOUNTAIN - Americana Christmas show, what’s not to like? - Alex
Husband and wife duo creating bluegrass with Jewish melodies and traditional Americana and folk. - Manny
Some good ol' progressive bluegrass on a Tuesday night! I was immersed in this genre against my will as a teen, so my story's a bit twisted, but I have mad respect for anyone doing it. These folks rip on their instruments and get people hootin'. Anyone connected to Tony Trischka gets a seal of approval from me! - Carson
Rich textured full bodied folk with a unique tapestry: “combining elements of everything from Americana and Appalachian bluegrass to Celtic folk and Eastern European melodies with messages of inclusivity, diversity, and hope for our ever changing world today.” - Caroline
THURSDAY:
allie Ft Tall GFs: allie released one of Brooklyn's best sleeper records of the year and so did Sofia Wolfson, who recently got a shoutout in Cosmopolitan's Album of the Year list (I didn't know this publication did those?)! I love this song. Eliza Elliott opens and she is wonderful. - Carson
I’ve known allie for a few years via the Honore Square extended universe, and I was just floored by her most recent project. Her melodies are familiar and kind, this music feels so friendly and warm. beautiful lineup - Caroline
BAD TUNER - always a banging party with bad tuner. New single is a hit, wonder if he’ll bring out Miette Hope again ? - Alex
album release show for NY electronic artist. Vibes are at an all time high with this one. - Manny
Really fuckin nice dance music. I was eating pizza in my neighborhood slice shop when they were filming this music video so I was able to watch this dancer do her moves in real time. Shout out Pizza Spot at 431 Dekalb Ave. Try the Margherita slice. - Carson
Bouncy electropop dancey juice ! - Caroline
FRIDAY:
DANESHEVSKAYA - epic lineup, massive fan of daneshevskaya and Asher. Big excitement - Alex
Up and coming artist from New York. Beautiful songs, this one will be very special. I really like this song - Manny
OK Daneshevskaya! What a great songwriter! I will always have a difficult time pronouncing, but never a difficult time enjoying this music :) I saw her at TV Eye months ago and it was so good. I can't wait for this show! Caroline & I snuck out to see Asher White's set at Public Records a month ago and were both thoroughly blown away. I love that record and the live show is great. This song? Those melodies? That's a very special artist. Not enough people are talking about this. Carol is opening this one too? Hell yeah. - Carson
Ohhh what a bill …. Daneshevskaya is no longer the best kept secret, and for good reason. Her whispery folk songs feel like lullabies from my youth, and i absolutely love it. Carson’s right, the Asher White show we caught was quite possibly one of my top shows of the year, absolutely electrifying and i can’t wait to host her at baby. Carol is a beloved member of the cast of characters, overall just a can’t lose night. - Caroline
BLACK POP PARTY - installment number 2 of the new party from MFM. Surprise performances and late night live, we love that. - Alex
MFM party, DJs playing the hits from current Black electronic artists. - Manny
The first one was a hit so they just had to do a victory lap before 2025. - Carson
First one hit, second time’s bound to ! Live performances and DJs. - Caroline
SATURDAY:
LIZ'S HAPPIEST HOUR - stacked lineup! - Alex
Holiday special for a great cause to raise money for children in Palestine. Lots of performers with a backing house band. - Manny
A holiday spectacular with whacky surprise guests and an excellent cause that's being supported. - Carson
A holiday benefit show hosted by Liz Stuart, with an insane lineup and all proceeds going to the PCRF. Don’t miss this one :) - Caroline
LIAM BENZVI - babys fam show, love Liam’s latest! - Alex
A Baby's favorite! Talented and very sweet, it'll be a good night for sure. Check out this easy breezy video with Blood Orange. - Manny
Liam's music is so good. He is a star in my eyes. Incredible performer, and great style. His show at the most recent Knitting Factory was one of my favorite shows that I ever saw at that venue. Time Wharp opens this show and their music goes extremely hard. I recently got very into this one. No brainer; go to this show. - Carson
I’ve known Liam since we first met when he opened a show I photographed for The Drums in 2021 and I was captivated. His production and melodies are informed by classical training and lend themselves to absolutely addictive indie pop. Study up with Limes, Hiccup, and Other Guys ft Blood Orange to get a good feel for it. Liam’s a real treasure, and he’s one of those people who I truly wish nothing but absolute stardom for. I promise you’d be sad to miss this one ! - Caroline
