Award-Winning Singer and Performer Headlines Don’t Tell Mama on April 23rd, Followed by an Exclusive Talent Showcase on April 25th.
Get ready New York. Award-winning singer, songwriter, and performer Irene Michaels is bringing her electric stage presence to the city for two landmark events this April — and the industry is already buzzing.
On Wednesday, April 23rd, Irene takes the stage at the legendary Don’t Tell Mama cabaret and piano bar in Midtown Manhattan for what promises to be an unforgettable evening of live music. Known for her unique stage presence that sparkles with joy, Irene is eloquent, magnetic, visually striking, daring, passionate, and alluring — and Don’t Tell Mama’s intimate setting is the perfect canvas for her to work her magic up close.
Then, on Friday, April 25th, Irene headlines a live Talent Showcase — an exclusive industry event welcoming talent, buyers, and club owners from across the entertainment world. This is a rare opportunity to witness one of independent music’s most dynamic performers in a setting designed for the people who move the industry forward.
Irene Michaels has been entertaining people throughout her life for over six decades — dancing, modeling, acting, authoring books, and performing across some of the most storied stages in the country. Her single “I Like Rain” won the Josie Music Award for Best Pop Song of the Year, followed by multiple nominations and wins including Song of the Year — Hip-Hop for “My Heart” featuring Twizm Whyte Piece. She has received Grammy consideration and has performed at major industry events, including the Josie Music Awards at Nashville’s grand ole Opry house.
As she moves into 2026, the focus expands from recorded success to elevated live performance and headline positioning — and momentum is very much on her side.
The April 25th Talent Showcase is open to all talent, buyers, and club owners. Whether you are looking to discover your next headliner, forge new industry connections, or simply witness a master performer at work, this is not an event to miss.
