JO'S CONSTANT CRAVING

  • Joe's Pub @ The Public Theater 425 Lafayette Street New York, NY, 10003 United States (map)

A night of queerly re-imagined tunes from the Dyke Canon.

Alongside long-time collaborator Ada Westfall and a full band (Lila Blue, Noga Cabo, Simone Acosta, Rosa Avila, Aliya Ultan), Jo will present an evening of re-orchestrated cover songs from within the Dyke Canon, fusing together music from queer elders and contemporaries to tell the sonic story of Jo's own queer coming-to. 

Diving into this diverse, re-imagined catalogue of tunes, Constant Craving is a night about how music can help us find, and see, ourselves... how it can deeply inform, and define, the ways we might envision the world... 

Think the music of Ani DiFranco, Toshi Reagon, Le Tigre, Tegan and Sara, Meshell Ndegeocello, Bitch and Animal, Joan Armatrading, Melissa Ethridge, folk-punk-ally Sinead O'Connor, Bikini Kill, The Indigo Girls and beyond...

This first iteration of the show will be a full-blown concert: A night of songs infused with sonic dyke herstory and queer context that transforms the personal into the expansive, alongside a couple of extra special guests... 

Anyone remotely titillated by these myriad artists, anybody intrigued by counter-pop-culture and how it reflects us back to ourselves, anybody looking for a good-ass time (!!!), will enjoy this indie-rockin' night!
