Last night’s set at Joe’s Pub was no less than exquisite - the best show yet by this guitar-slinging wordsmith at an intimate venue. The audience was hushed, entirely captivated by Stephen’s expressive performance, except for during Stephen’s between-song banter, which ranged from arena rock style “Thank You!” shout outs and explanations of the origin of some of his quirkier titles.

Here’s your second chance to catch this unsung hero sing his heart out. Stephen takes the stage at 7pm at The Living Room, 154 Ludlow Street (between Stanton and Rivington).
