Ryan James Monroe

After a transformative year of music, connection, and community, Ryan James Monroe returns to Chelsea Table + Stage for the finale performance of his 2025 residency—a night that promises to be as intimate as it is epic.

With nothing but his voice and the incomparable, 16 time MAC Award Winner, Tracy Stark at the piano, Ryan strips everything back to the essence—melody, story, presence, and soul. Together, they’ll revisit the songs that shaped the journey, honor the people who made it possible, and vision forward to what’s still to come.

This is more than a concert—it’s a love letter. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who has listened, supported, and shared in the music throughout the years. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and step boldly into the next horizon with renewed spirit and sound.

Come celebrate the close of a beautiful chapter before the beginning of the next. The future is calling—and it starts here.
