Last November we saw Hamilton Leithauser headline his biggest solo performance to date at Brooklyn Steel. He kicked off 2018 with a set of much smaller performances making up a 10-night run at the historic Cafe Carlyle. I caught the first night of the run on January 16, my first time at the fancy upscale venue (a jacket is required to enter) which provided a rather epic dinner before the performance began.
Leithauser was accompanied by fellow The Walkmen member Paul Maroon, as well as Matt Oliver, who both helped him perform a mix of his new material, as well as covers of Tom Paxton’s “Annie’s Going to Sing Her Song,” Leonard Cohen’s “Seems So Long Ago, Nancy,” as well as a few choice Walkmen cuts, including “Blizzard of ’96,” “137th St.” and “Blue As Your Blood.”
