You just might see Sam Smith on the G train this fall.
Starting Wednesday, Oct. 8, the five-time Grammy winner will launch their 12-show ‘To Be Free’ residency at Brooklyn’s Warsaw.
These concerts come in support of Smith’s recently-released single “To Be Free,” which hit streaming services on July 24.
“I’ve never had a recording experience like I did making this song. It’s one vocal and guitar take from start to finish — one live performance of me and my friend Simon Aldred in a pure state of music and expression,” Smith shared. “I wrote it five years ago while writing my last album ‘Gloria’ and then parked it because I knew it was not a song for that album. It was created during a time in my life where I became free within myself.”
In regards to the residency, Smith claimed “This residency is something I’ve been thinking about and planning in my head for a long time. It’s such a different experience to play intimate shows, and I’m so excited to host this in a city that I adore” via Instagram.
When the 32-year-old says “intimate,” they mean it.
Based on our findings, Warsaw holds just 1,100 audience members in a general admission setting. When they last toured, Smith’s NY concerts took place at Madison Square Garden, which can fit around 20,000 fans.
So, if you’ve always dreamt of hearing Smith’s powerhouse vocals up close and personal, now’s your opportunity.

Sam Smith new music
On July 24, Smith released the sensitive, big-hearted single “To Be Free.”
Over simple guitar chords, the one-of-a-kind singer does all the heavy lifting letting the song start small before building to a stirring, larger-than-life climax complete with a gifted backup choir.
It’s emotional, uplifting, raw and endlessly listenable. We can’t get enough.
To hear for yourself, you can find “To Be Free” here.
