It's been years since I've checked out what's going on in the wonderful world of UK Grime. And that's a big mistake. I will be exploring this genre again this year. This album fuckin' rules.. Pitchfork likes it, I like it, see you Thursday. - Carson
Recent True Panther signing, Nina-certified voice from the UK Grime underground. Faceless for now, but rising in prominence, a name already echoing through the scene. NY Debut, come check it out. - Alex
Lo-fi grimy UK beat-heavy rap, it’s cool and it’s very Brit - Caroline
FRIDAY:
DARYL JOHNS (7:00PM) <21+> Daryl Johns showcases his versatile artistry through pop compositions, blending jazz, rock, and experimental sounds into an electrifying performance. - Manny
This guy's a legend. My dear friend Sue wrote a lovely review of his new album that you should read. They just don't make music like this anymore, but now they do. My anthem for 2025 right here. We had to do 3 shows with him because everyone is so excited. This is the first show and it is mega sold-out. - Carson
Daryl Johns' self titled debut was a surprise treat for the end of '24. Feel like it landed on almost all the end of year lists I cared about. This one sold out in a matter of days, with two shows up at 101. Keep your eyes peeled, we might drop a few extra tix here day of show :) - Alex
First of all this guy is totally psycho, and he’s also equally cosmically gifted. Find me someone who doesn’t connect to this record? It’s all set on a jazz tapestry, with moments of big 80’s mega-pop hit vocals and piano spins and the whole thing makes me dizzy with delight. 3 shows with him, two of them at 101, and this one is the last one w tickets. - Caroline
CANDI POP (11:00PM) <21+> Hot party playing all the pop hits, new and old.. - Manny
You'll hear Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and more at this party. If that's your thing then this is going to be the best party in the world! - Carson
Candi Pop's return! Baby rejoice. - Alex
Is it that sweet, I guess so! - Caroline
SATURDAY:
WINTER JAZZ FEST (6:00PM) <21+> Winter Jazz Fest comes back to grace the stages at Baby's. Get ready to get wowed by some real players. . - Manny
This will be my first Winter Jazz soirée! Looking forward to it. Lion Babe brings the funk, Denmark's Smag Pa Dig Selv goes crazy with the brass + beats, Josefine Opsahl makes beautiful, epic music on a cello & loop pedal, and Dominique Fils-Aime is a Québécois vocal-jazz Juno-winner. Epic night for the thinking man music enjoyers of the world. - Carson
I say it every year - this is one of my favorite nights of music of the year. Perfectly curated Brooklyn takeover. Lion Babe, Smag Pa Dig Selv, Josefine Opsahl, Salin and Dominique Fils-Aime join Baby. Lesgo. - Alex
Every year Jazzfest is one of those life-affirming events that reassures us all that music is the very best thing to warm our souls in sub freezing temps. - Caroline

NNAMDI (6:30PM) <18+> NNAMDI's innovative sound blurs the lines between genres, combining intricate rhythms, bold melodies, and raw emotion. Joined by the captivating SemiraTruth, this show is set to push creative boundaries.. - Manny
I've been a big Nnamdi guy since early days. I revisit this one often. Perfect combination of Hip Hop, Indie, Math Rock, and oddball Pop :-) - Carson
Nnamdi returns to baby's. An absolute pro. Brat was a favorite of mine in 2020, dare I say they did it first??? :O - Alex
I love this song hhhooooo weeee - Caroline
EX PILOTS (9:30PM) <21+> Unpredictable and relentless, Ex Pilots craft a visceral sound that pushes the boundaries of experimental rock, commanding attention with their intense and dynamic performances.. - Manny
Hell yeah I love everything Smoking Room puts out. Ex Pilots are kind of like if Guided By Voices played Shoegaze in 2025. I love this vid. There's something in the water in Pittsburgh... - Carson
Carson put me onto Ex Pilots... and they slap. Incredible stuff. Sweet lineup with Crate and Carrying. - Alex
I’m so stoked about this show, I love this band (yes, also via Carson), something’s in the water in pittsburgh that grants us the most delectable grime post punk noisy goodness. hell yea. - Caroline
