Harlem’s Hottest Ticket: Ladawn Mechelle Taylor Live

Harlem doesn’t always announce its biggest nights in advance—but when it does, you feel it in the air. From Feb 22 through Mar 22, Room 623 in New York, NY becomes the home of an intimate, soulful run you’ll want to say you caught in real time: “Billie Fitzgerald: Love Notes to Harlem.” This isn’t a background-music type of evening—it’s a sit-forward, lock-in, feel-every-note experience starring the main event herself: Ladawn Taylor.

Ladawn takes the stage as headliner, producer, and vocalist, leading the night with presence, storytelling, and a voice that pulls the room into one shared heartbeat. The show invites you into “love notes” inspired by Harlem’s soulful vibes—heartfelt stories paired with live tunes that bring the spirit of Harlem to life, not as nostalgia, but as something living and happening right now. If you’ve been craving culture that feels close, real, and electric, this is exactly what it looks like.

And while Ladawn is the star, she’s surrounded by talent that strengthens the whole experience: Stephen White (vocalist) and Safin Karim (accompanist) join her to build a live sound that’s rich, emotional, and unforgettable. This is the kind of lineup that doesn’t just “support” a headliner—it amplifies her, giving Ladawn space to soar, improvise, and turn the room into a moment people can’t stop talking about.

The setting is part of the magic. The series is in-person and 18+, designed for grown, ready-to-vibe energy—an up-close Harlem night where the music hits different because you’re right there for it. And the address puts you exactly where you need to be: Room 623, 271 West 119th Street, New York, NY 10026.

Call it a date night, a friend night, a solo “I’m outside” night—just don’t call it optional. This is Harlem’s hottest ticket for a reason: Ladawn Taylor Live is the kind of experience you share because it’s not just an event—it’s proof you were in the room when something special happened.​
