At a recent intimate concert at Soho Sessions in New York, Elvis Costello reminisced about his early performances in the city. He recalls his first show at The Bottom Line, emphasizing the importance of connecting with various venues over his long career. Though enjoying the present moment, he has no immediate plans to release new music, feeling fulfilled by his past work. Living in Manhattan with his family, Costello has embraced the New Yorker lifestyle, while also highlighting his connection to New Orleans through collaborative performances.
"I don't think the place I played first was very much bigger than this, if it was bigger. The Bottom Line would have been the first time."
"You have to play everywhere in the end. You find the places that you feel good in, you know? And I've had venues that I like here."
"I've made so many records, might be time to let somebody else make records for a while."
"I like being here in Manhattan with my wife and kids. It's a certified New Yorker life for me."
