Innovative keyboardist and composer Steve Nieve and multidimensional artist Kessada bring an electrifying set to our Lobby Stage. Best known as a core member of Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Nieve has spent over four decades collaborating with icons like David Bowie, Morrissey, Sting, Laurie Anderson, and Jane Birkin—crafting a sound that spans classical, rock, and avant-garde. Joining him is Kessada, a genre-blurring talent whose work moves fluidly through indie, rock, and electronic music. Kessada has played large outdoor venues like Deferlantes and Fuji Rock and intimate spaces from the Philharmonie in Paris to Largo in LA or City Winery in NYC.

Expect a performance that’s both bold and intimate, revealing the pair’s shared passion for storytelling through words and music.
