Our Wicked Lady music venue in East Williamsburg will close permanently on July 21, ten years after its establishment. Financial difficulties, particularly following the COVID pandemic, forced owners Zach Glass and Keith Hamilton to attempt fundraising efforts to retain the venue. They found potential buyers, but were unable to proceed due to the landlords rejecting the offer. Glass lamented this outcome while expressing thanks for a decade of community support. The venue, once a thriving music hub, opened in 2015, overcoming initial challenges to become a staple of New York’s music scene.
