If you’re in need of a dose of ’90s nostalgia, we’ve got just the concert for you.
10,000 Maniacs lead singer turned solo artist Natalie Merchant is midway through her ongoing ‘Keep Your Courage Tour’ in support of her 2023 album that shares a name with the tour.
However, if you want to hear Merchant’s rich vocals live in the Big Apple, you better act fast.
The Jamestown, NY native has two concerts at New York City’s Alice Tully Hall on Friday, June 2 and Saturday, June 3.
In the event that those shows are a bit too last-minute, you can catch Merchant live at Newark’s New Jersey Performing Arts Center on June 25.
And should you wait to see the “Kind and Generous” singer in the Garden State, you can save big time.
At the time of publication, ticket prices to see her live at NJPAC start at $58 before fees on Vivid Seats.
$116 before fees is the lowest price for the Alice Tully Hall gigs.
She’ll also perform at Chautauqua, NY’s Chautauqua Amphitheater on July 8.

Natalie Merchant new music
In 2023, Merchant released her first album in six years.
“Keep Your Courage,” comprised of ten tracks, demonstrates the singer’s evolution as a vocalist. Her voice is deeper, more assured, contemplative and mature than ever before.
If you’re a fan of Merchant’s earlier work, this record may seem like a departure but after multiple listens, you’ll hear the playful tone and wistful lyrics within the music that make Merchant such a singular artist.
For our money, we suggest starting with the spellbinding “Sister Tilly” which surprised us with a tempo change halfway through — it’s almost like a singer-songwriter dropping a beat.
We’re also quite fond of the quietly bombastic “Hunting The Wren” as well.
