Live Shows
Glen David Andrews
Saturday September 14th
Glen David Andrews's commanding voice and fierce trombone sound – both a powerful, emotional, and resonant blend of smoothness and grit – as well as his disarmingly honest manner provide a musical experience that never fails to meet the moment. Glen’s music is packed with beauty, hard-earned truths, compassion, humor, anger, joy, and – most of all – hope.
Glen comes from a storied and extended family of musicians. He was born in New Orleans’ historic Tremé neighborhood, which many consider to be the oldest Black community in the United States. Transfixed by the magic and mystery of the city’s second-line parades, Andrews and his older brother, Derrick Tabb of the Rebirth Brass Band, along with their younger cousin Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews, learned the history of the brass band tradition firsthand from iconic figures like Tuba Fats. Glen has been touring since the age of 14, performing in cities around the world. He has played in New Birth, Lil Rascals, and Tremé brass bands, bringing equal measures of musicianship and showmanship to each.
He now fronts his own high-powered ensemble that expertly fuses traditions ranging from jazz to gospel to rock to blues and to funk, all in the same show, sometimes in the same song!
In recent years, he earned prestigious recognition and began making headliner status at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, considered the world’s biggest block party the annual New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival
Glen has also made notable appearances at the Voodoo Music Experience, Chicago Folk and Roots Festival, Houston International Festival, The Lincoln Center, Joe’s Pub, House of Blues Nola, Tipitina’s, and Kansas City’s American Jazz Museum. Glen has released several recordings under his own name including the popular “Redemption” and “Portrait of the Treme Prince” and is featured on the Galactic hit “You Don’t Know” from the album Ya-Ka-May.

Saturday October 26th
Recently dubbed a “New York City Staple” by BroadwayWorld, Serge Clivio returns to the Mastercard Midnight Theatre by popular demand with the newest version of his SERGE AND FRIENDS series. Volume 4 will focus on the genres of music that shaped his artistry, Rock ’n’ Roll and Rhythm & Blues. Clivio made his Mastercard Midnight Theatre debut last fall with Volume 3 of the series to a sold-out audience and critical acclaim. Rock ’n’ Soul will feature songs from some of the world’s greatest rock bands of all time, Serge’s favorite soul artists, jazz, blues, and even a sneak peek at some new originals.
Most recently, Clivio released a studio album titled, SERGE AND FRIENDS (Vol. 1-3): The Recording Sessions to strong reviews, with the Boston Globe stating, “Clivio [has] revitalized the cover album.” Serge is a NYC-based singer/songwriter, actor, and recording artist. He has also dipped his feet into philanthropy and fundraising, by partnering with Memorial Sloan Kettering to create his own fundraising arm for Cancer Research in their blood cancer division. His performing credits include a diverse set of musical theatre roles, strong songwriting credits for both his own artistry and others, and solo concerts and performances at places like The Cutting Room, Birdland, 54 Below, and more.
Mike Stapleton returns as the Music Director and ‘Serge and Friends’ co-creator. He will lead the live 6-piece all-star band from around the country. Special Guests will include Alexa Lebersfeld, Michael Mahady, Drew Arisco, Alia Hodge, Emily Royer, and Daniel Scott Walton. The night is promised to be a high-energy performance with personal stories and exciting surprises - all for a good cause!
Ticket proceeds will be donated to Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Cancer Research Center, a cause that Clivio is extremely passionate about and that helped save his life just a few years ago. Last year, Volume 3 raised over $10,000. Don’t miss another great year of Serge and Friends!
