The Milk Carton Kids live in New York

Experience The Milk Carton Kids live on September 23rd

The Milk Carton Kids will be performing at Webster Hall in New York City on September 23, 2026. The duo, Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan, are known for their intricate and harmonically rich acoustic folk music. Their style often features tightly interwoven guitar lines and close vocal harmonies, drawing comparisons to artists like Townes Van Zandt and John Prine. They typically perform with just two guitars and their voices, creating an intimate and minimalist sound despite complex arrangements. The band gained prominence through independent releases and extensive touring, building a dedicated following based on their musicianship and songwriting.

Webster Hall originally opened in 1886 as a social club before transitioning into a performance venue. Throughout its history, it has hosted a diverse range of acts spanning numerous genres including rock, pop, hip-hop, and electronic music. The building is noted for its ornate Victorian-era architecture and its large ballroom space. It underwent significant renovations completed in 2020 after facing potential closure; these renovations aimed to restore many of the hall’s historic features while updating the venue's technical capabilities. The hall remains a prominent landmark in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan.
