On May 15, 2020, Willie Nile released his 13th studio album, New York At Night. As the title of the album implies, the album is inspired by Willie's experiences as a longtime New York City resident. Willie told Americana Highways, "I’ve learned a lot from New York. I love the action, the grit, the energy. It teaches me about life to this day." From rock and roll tributes to New York City to ballads about the meaning of love and life, this album epitomizes Willie's ability to uniquely connect with his audience through his songwriting. Making A Scene calls the album, "unadulterated rock n' roll." The album has already achieved #1 song of the week on WPKN and The Alternate Root, as well as Editor's Pick in Downbeat Magazine. Willie has released five albums in the last five years, and the Associated Press says that he is "as sharp and guitar-driven as ever." We invite you to hear the album for yourself. It's out right now!"
