About this Event

Mohsen Namjoo Live in Concert
Saturday, October 12, 2025
Mayfair Theatre – Irish American Heritage Center, Chicago

Experience a night of soul-stirring music with Mohsen Namjoo, the trailblazing Iranian singer-songwriter, musician, and cultural icon. Hailed by The New York Times, The Guardian, BBC, and LA Times, Namjoo has been called "the Bob Dylan of Iran" for his bold fusion of traditional Persian music with rock, blues, and contemporary influences.

Born in Iran’s Khorasan province, known for its rich legacy of poetry and music, Namjoo’s sound bridges centuries and continents. With his signature voice, masterful Setar playing, and fearless blending of Classical Persian scales with Western styles, he creates a genre-defying experience that resonates deeply across generations and cultures.

Now based in New York City, Namjoo has captivated audiences worldwide, performing at legendary venues including Disney Hall in LA, the Barbican in London, and Symphony Space in NYC. His global fanbase stretches from Tehran to Berlin to Melbourne.

Join us at the historic Mayfair Theatre on October 12 for a rare chance to witness this visionary artist live in Chicago. Let’s give him a warm welcome at the Irish American Heritage Center!
