Experience Louis B. Middleton live on June 23rd

Louis B. Middleton is scheduled to perform at Bemelmans Bar in New York City on June 23, 2026. Middleton is a vocalist and interpreter of the Great American Songbook, specializing in jazz and classic popular standards. His style is characterized by a warm baritone voice and nuanced phrasing, often drawing comparisons to singers like Nat King Cole and Mel Tormé. He frequently performs with a variety of ensembles, ranging from solo piano accompaniment to larger jazz orchestras, emphasizing storytelling through song.

Bemelmans Bar resides within The Carlyle Hotel on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. The bar is renowned for its opulent Art Deco interior and especially for the whimsical murals created by Ludwig Bemelmans, the author and illustrator of the *Madeline* children’s book series. These murals, completed in 1947, depict scenes of Central Park throughout the seasons and are considered integral to the bar’s atmosphere.

The bar has a long history as a favored haunt of celebrities, artists, and socialites since its opening in 1933 – surviving Prohibition as a speakeasy initially.
