From 7pm, Schubert will perform originals, new and existing, from his main project, The Safety of Life at Sea, as well as a few popular covers.
"During the lockdown, I've been taking requests from friends on Facebook for songs to cover, which has certainly added to my repertoire," Schubert said.
"I'm really looking forward to performing in a room with others again, and hopefully we can have have a laugh and a singalong."
The performance will be live streamed via The Safety of Life at Sea's Facebook page.
Schubert said the band has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on their upcoming third studio album.
"It's been a slow process because of the isolation, but it's getting there and we're enjoying seeing it come together," he said.
"With restrictions starting to ease, I think we'll be able to start creating some of the music videos we initially wanted to make."
The first single from the album, 'Get Serious', was released in April, with the music video featuring a creative, socially distanced dance routine.
Schubert is curious to see how the next few months of live music will pan out.
"A lot of people are really keen for live music to return to normal, but I do think it's sensible to proceed with caution so careful plans can be put in place," he said.
