East Coast/West Coast Showdown

January 14, 2026

Frank Sinatra. Beach Boys. Alicia Keys. Red Hot Chili Peppers. Billy Joel.

Get your MTA card and dodge the LA traffic to come to 54 Below for a showdown of the ages: the
concrete jungle of New York versus the sun and fun of California. Songs about and by artists from
these two iconic places will take the stage for a night to decide which coast truly is the best. Whether you’re sightseeing at the Statue Of Liberty or the Golden Gate Bridge, taking a stroll down Broadway or Hollywood Boulevard, there will be songs for you!

Expect to hear songs like “Theme from New York, New York,” “Californication,” “No Sleep Till
Brooklyn,” and “I Left My Heart In San Francisco.” From those who are in a “New York State of
Mind” to those who are “California Dreamin’,” come root for your favorite city on a night you won’t
want to miss!

Produced by Thomas E. Carley, with assistant production and music direction by Benjamin Balatbat.
