American Songbook: Singer Outsiders
Curated in collaboration with Tamar-kali and Kathleen Hanna
This season's American Songbook reclaims and elevates our Singer Outsiders, women and nonbinary musicians who have shaped the modern landscape of music and performance and continue to drive conversations on gender, identity, and empowerment.
The Queens of Noise are here
Today's Singer Outsiders show up and show out
Operatic soprano Julia Bullock presents History's Persistent Voice, a multimedia musical recital exploring Black American tradition and artistry. In April, trailblazing indie rock bands Gossip and ESG honor Fanny, the first all-female rock band to record a full album at a major label. Also in April, Tarta Relena, Los Sara Fontan, and Cocanha perform 4132314, a theatrical show embracing sorority and the common thread of connection that binds us all. Closing out the series at David Geffen Hall, French Chilean rapper Ana Tijoux celebrates her first new album in nearly a decade!
Fearless voices of our generation defy expectations
This year's American Songbook embraces women and nonbinary powerhouses from across musical worlds, celebrating their artistic evolution and authentic expression. Tony Award winner of Suffs on Broadway, Shaina Taub, makes a triumphant return to the Lincoln Center stage; Joan as Police Woman shares her undeniably soulful sound with classic and new tracks; and Meshell Ndegeocello presents an evening of soul, R&B, jazz, Hip-Hop and rock—all for Choose-What-You-Pay prices at the breathtaking Appel Room.
Musical collaborations affirm the power of community
The essence of alternative and punk music has always been spontaneous, eclectic, audacious, and exciting; and its influence continues to touch mainstream sounds and culture. Co-curators Tamar-kali and Kathleen Hanna are bringing together numerous musical acts, all accompanied by the American Songbook house band, for three rockin' tribute nights at the David Rubenstein Atrium—hailing punk girl legends past and present. Join us for these free, community-centric concerts this spring: Tribute to Poly Styrene, Tribute to The Slits, and Mixtape: Women in Punk.Be the first to know!
