TICKETS + INFORMATION

Guitarist Davey Williams seemed oddball in his approach, but of course he was serious inside. A Southerner, he started out from blues — his initial mentor was Johnny Shines — but then moved to weird places. But no matter how experimental (and weird) his music was, it was always fundamentally human. Which is why he was so loved, and why his early death in 2019 seemed such a loss. Colleagues from the South and from New York join to pay him tribute.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, the epochal residency of Fergus Henderson’s wonderfully elemental British restaurant St. John — the progenitor of nose-to-tail cooking — at As You Are. Streaming at home, have a Paper Plane: pour 3/4 oz. each of Bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake. Strain into a chilled Martini glass or coupe.
