Only 10,000 Maniacs could keep us away from this tour.
Natalie Merchant just announced she’s hitting the road this November for a 15-concert tour that will send her and longtime collaborator Erik Della Penna (who penned the music and lyrics for Broadway’s Tony-nominated “Dead Outlaw”) all over the Northeast.
While out and about, the duo is slated to make a trio of stops in New York.
First, they’ll headline at Tarrytown’s Tarrytown Music Hall on Sunday, Nov. 2. After that, the twosome hit Hudson’s Hudson Hall on Saturday, Nov. 15 and NYC’s New York Society for Ethical Culture Concert Hall on Monday, Nov. 24.
These intimate acoustic shows will be made up of “songs and stories” according to Merchant’s Instagram tour announcement post.
“Erik and I love playing our duo shows,” Merchant said. “We can be so stealth and spontaneous when it’s just the two of us. We read each other so well after all these years.”
While we’re not sure what songs Merchant will take to the stage at these intimate, acoustic concerts, Set List FM reports that she performed 18 songs at a July 2024 gig in Nashville including her delicious ’90s hit “Kind & Generous.”
If you’d like to to see her live, tickets are available as of today.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find for any one show was $131 including fees on Vivid Seats.
Other concerts have tickets starting anywhere from $143 to $313 including fees.

Nominated for seven Tonys — including Best New Musical, Best Leading Actor in a Musical for Andrew Durand, Best Featured Actress in a Musical for Julia Knitel and Best Featured Actor in a Musical for Jeb Brown — “Dead Outlaw” tells the unbelievable true story of Elmer McCurdy, a train robber whose body, after being shot dead in a shootout, was preserved and became a sideshow attraction as a carnival exhibit, a wax museum display, and a movie prop for decades.
In the New York Post’s review of the show, critic Johnny Oleksinski spotlit the show’s score saying the music “stitches together rockabilly, campfire songs, lounge music and folk into an eerie Americana soundscape that’s punchy and unsettling.”
If you’d like to see “Dead Outlaw” at the Longacre Theatre, you can find tickets here.

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, more contemplative and more 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.
You can hear the 54-minute record in its entirety here.
Many world-class singers are out and about on the road this year.
Here are just five of our favorites you won’t want to miss live these next few months.
• Melissa Etheridge with Indigo Girls
