The Listening Room: Usher | Single

One place in the room. Three albums. Three eras. One night.

Spend an evening with the music of Usher, exploring selected vinyl sides from three albums that capture distinct moments in his evolution:

MY WAY • 8701 • HERE I STAND

From the confidence and desire of My Way, through the love and vulnerability of 8701, to the adulthood and commitment of Here I Stand.

This isn't a greatest hits night, and we won't be playing three albums back-to-back.

Instead, selected vinyl sides become chapters in one story, with conversation between each exploring the music, memories and changing perspectives on love that run through Usher's catalogue.

Your Single Ticket includes

Entry for one guest

Selected vinyl playback
Hear carefully selected sides from My Way, 8701 and Here I Stand.

Guided conversation
Between chapters, Sam will open up the room for conversation around the music, Usher's evolution and the memories attached to these records.

An intimate listening room
A small-capacity setting designed around listening, conversation and meeting people through music.

The full evening experience
As the focused listening comes to an end, the room becomes more relaxed with R&B carrying us through the close.

Come on your own

You don't need to bring someone to enjoy The Listening Room.

Plenty of guests come solo. The room is intentionally designed to make meeting and talking to people feel natural, with the music providing the common ground.

Come because you grew up with Usher. Come because you love R&B. Or simply come because these records take you somewhere.
