Tickets are now on sale for the debut performance of The Songwriter Series: New York Stories at George Lane St Kilda. A curated evening exploring the writers, songs and scenes that helped shape New York’s extraordinary musical history - from Tin Pan Alley and the Brill Building through to Greenwich Village, CBGB and downtown Manhattan.

Across an extended live set, Victor Stranges revisits the worlds of Doc Pomus, Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Carole King, Paul Simon, Blondie, Willy DeVille, Television, Ramones and more, weaving together songs and stories from nearly a century of New York songwriting and cultural history.

The evening opens with a special solo performance by Stu Thomas, who will also join Victor later in the night for selected songs. Anthea Palmer also appears as a special guest across the evening.

An intimate live experience blending music, storytelling and reinterpretation, New York Stories celebrates the city, the writers and the songs that continue to echo far beyond New York itself.

Limited seated and standing room tickets available from $35 + B/F.
