Toshi Reagon, an Atlanta-born singer, composer, musician, and curator has two more performances on the table for her three-show residency at NYC’s Symphony Space.
The first show of the run featured a performance by Be Steadwell, a Queer pop composer, filmmaker, and storyteller who composes her songs on stage using looping and vocal layering. Reagon, who has collaborated with Steadwell for the past ten years, joined her on select numbers.
Up next on Thursday, November 10 is You’re Having Too Much Fun… So We’re Gonna Have to Kill You, a “work in progress” which presents a modern story using disco-era music. Singers of the show include Reagon, Steadwell, Afi Bijou, and Josette Newsam among others, with performing musicians including bassist Fred Cash, drummer Matt Graff, keyboardist Kim Jordan, and Adam Widoff.
Topping off the residency on Saturday, November 19 is Sacred Revolution, a Reagon-curated song cycle featuring J. Bob Alotta, a filmmaker and media activist, Leah Penniman an educator, author, food sovereignty activist, and Co-Founder of Soul Fire Farm, multi-medium artist Carl Hancock Rux, performer and choreographer Maleek Washington; and The W.O.W. Project, a Chinatown initiative led by women and people of transgender and queer background. Singers of the shower include Reagon, jazz artist Lizz Wright, and Sudanese musician Alsarah.
