From Bowery Electric to Bowery Palace
After 17 years as a celebrated live music venue, the Bowery Electric will close its doors on January 30th [3]. However, the space will continue to be a hub for the arts, reopening on February 18th as the Bowery Palace, a 100-seat theater [3]. The transition ensures the legacy of the location continues under familiar ownership, with Jesse Malin as a key partner.

The 90-minute show promises a deeply intimate experience, with Malin stating it’s “the most personal thing I’ve ever done on stage” [2]. The production will also feature special guest appearances and nightly pre-show gatherings.

He grew up in the neighborhood and has a long history with the area, having played at the legendary CBGB as a young musician and with family ties to the local businesses [2].

Demonstrating amazing resilience, Malin returned to the stage in December 2024 with a large-scale performance at the Beacon Theater [1].
