Singer-songwriters Claud and Elliott Skinner invite us into an intimate evening of music shaped by the city they call home. Together, they bring two singular approaches to songwriting and performance that reflect the expansiveness and creative energy of New York’s musical landscape.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
This special night is part of the Young Masters series, a platform that honors artists who have achieved exceptional mastery early in their careers, celebrating them for redefining their fields and inspiring a new generation.
Presented by THE OFFICE performing arts + film.
New York Music Month is an initiative of the NYC Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment.

ABOUT ELLIOTT SKINNER
Elliott Skinner immersed himself in music from an early age, singing in church, community choirs, and local bands throughout his hometown of Dallas, Texas. By the age of ten, he had already begun writing songs and playing guitar. At 19, he left Berklee College of Music and moved to New York City, where he quickly embedded himself within a wide-ranging creative community of producers, writers, performers, and studio musicians. Since then, Skinner has developed a sound that moves fluidly across soul, folk, jazz, rock, and experimental vocal and instrumental traditions.
Known for his exceptional musicianship as both a singer and instrumentalist, Skinner has recorded and toured with artists including Chance the Rapper, Jon Batiste, Chaka Khan, Joy Oladokun, and Amos Lee. More recently, he has served as music director, bassist, and backing vocalist for Leon Bridges, while also touring alongside Nai Palm of Hiatus Kaiyote. Alongside his collaborative work, Skinner continues to build a devoted audience for his solo project through live performances and new releases that showcase his expansive songwriting, deeply expressive voice, and genre-defying approach to contemporary music.
