Event Details
Shubert Theatre puts the spotlight on New Haven's local singing talent in an all-new cabaret setting featuring Thabisa Rich & Band, Langston Lynch, Finn the Scientist and Love n' Co. Patrons will be seated at tables of four arranged on the Shubert stage - a very special opportunity to enjoy an evening of song in an intimate, historic setting.
Last year, Shubert Theatre launched Elm City's Finest to recognize the unbelievable talent of artists within the city. Talent from nearly every artistic form—music, dance, spoken word, visual art—was celebrated on our stage and throughout the theatre. As we continue to showcase artists, each Elm City’s Finest event will focus on an artistic discipline. We are delighted to return this fall to celebrate the outstanding singing talent within the city.

Finn.theScientist
“Life is a groove” is a truth Finn.theScientist lives by. Born in Connecticut to a very Southern family and a love for Hendrix, Stravinsky, Shirley Ceasar, George Duke, Janelle Monae, and so many more, Finn Henry has always experienced the connection and blur between cultures and music. Finn sees their music as a sharing of a personal journey of how self, present culture, and the past informs and shapes creation. Whether it is performing as a vocalist or producing and engineering, Finn’s creativity is unmatched and exponentially growing.
Langston Lynch
Langston Lynch is a singer, songwriter, and lyricist with a rich background in vocal jazz and acapella performance. Her song, “Child of the Sun” is an excerpt from her own original musical, Aubrey’s Pencil Box. A lament from an orange pencil about being the least favored in the box, the song captures feelings of rejection as well as the human urge to break out of restriction. While Langston has been composing for years, Aubrey’s Pencil Box is her debut into playwriting and musical theater composition.
Watch video of Langston on her YouTube channel.
Love n' Co
Love n’ Co delivers powerful sonic waves that caress the soul, aiding in the journey of self-discovery and raw expression. We believe we can because of the community that shows us we can. Each song is a love song dedicated to all those that never give up and try even in the midst of unforeseen storms.
