Aldous Harding

Brooklyn Steel

East Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Ticketed

Official site
IndieBrooklyn SteelSaturday

The New Zealand songwriter plays Brooklyn Steel — a singular live performer in the borough's best mid-size room.

Harding is one of the few artists whose live show is genuinely different from the records — the phrasing, the faces, the stillness between songs. Brooklyn Steel's room is big enough for proper production and small enough that none of that is lost.

What to expect

A standing floor, a quiet and attentive crowd, and a set drawn across her albums.

Good to know

  • Brooklyn Steel is at 319 Frost Street; the L to Graham Av is closest
  • General admission standing, with a bar at the back
  • Doors are usually an hour before the listed start

Common questions

Is it a seated show?

No — Brooklyn Steel is general-admission standing.

What is the nearest subway?

The L to Graham Avenue, then about a ten-minute walk.
