“Who says the city no longer produces artists who challenge, provoke and even, on occasion, dare to disgust? She can rock hard and does!” –The New York Times
Hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed and completely sold out production of Rock Bottom, New York’s downtown darling Bridget Everett returns the stage with her band, The Tender Moments, and a bottle of chardonnay to sing all her favorite love songs and share the stories of the men that made her…feel? From tender moments to prison sex, come get inside her.
“She’s a one-woman liberation movement for anyone with genitals.” –New York Magazine
“You can call it making love, you can call it having sex, but somebody is getting fucked tonight.” –Bridget Everett

Matt Ray Plays Hoagy Carmichael, Lincoln Center, American Songbook
2018-01-27 20:30 | Lincoln Center, The Appel Room, 10 Columbus Circle, New York, NY, 10019, United States
Jazz pianist, vocalist, and “ingenious” arranger Matt Ray (New York Times) takes us through an evening highlighting the music of one of the essential architects of the classic American Songbook. To help him, he enlists singer Kat Edmonson, who delivers songs with an airy voice evocative of Blossom Dearie that invites audiences to “close their eyes and pick whatever time best suits their listening pleasure” (Charleston Post and Courier). Ray is best known for his work as music director for such downtown luminaries as Joey Arias, Justin Vivian Bond, Bridget Everett, and Taylor Mac with whom he shared the 2017 Kennedy Prize for Drama for A 24-Decade History of American Popular Music. Like Ray, the Texas-born, Brooklyn-based Edmonson has internalized decades of American songs and styles. Together with other surprise guests, they cast a spell over The Appel Room with personal favorites from Carmichael’s vast catalog, which includes “Stardust,” “The Nearness of You,” and “Georgia on My Mind.”

Keller Williams/Grateful Grass, Austin, TX
2017-10-28 19:00 | NY
Keller Williams’ Grateful Grass featuring Jeff Austin, Jay Starling (Love Canon) and Danton Boller delivers anything-but-traditional bluegrass versions of Grateful Dead favorites.
“Loose interpretations of Grateful Dead songs done in a bluegrass style. Take my fascination with Grateful Dead songs and mix it together with my love of psychedelic improvisational bluegrass music and out burps this project.
WARNING: If you like your Grateful Dead songs performed in their original way, or if you prefer traditional bluegrass, this is not the project for you. If you like singing along to Dead songs in that song’s normal tempo but dancing double time to the music, this is definitely your jam. A lot of people seem to dig it and I dig them for that.” – Keller Williams
