I just love singing with @thelosersloungenyc . I get to be onstage with the amazing band led by @joemcginty7 and share the night with the coolest artists. I sang one of my favorite R.E.M. tunes, Finest Worksong, at the @rem vs @thereplacements event in February. I can’t wait for the upcoming @duranduran show June 4-6th at @joespub . Tickets going fast.

Spent the day at my old stomping grounds at Joe’s Pub at The Public yesterday. As part of my role on the Joe’s Pub Council, I participated in a series of speed meetings with the current Joe’s Pub Working Group artist cohort. I loved being a part of a different artist development program and seeing what it shared and how it differed from The Arts Center’s Numoo program. Very poised group of artists and terrific conversations with them and the other guests in the meetings.
Was happy to get to see a new show by Julian Fleisher, on of the first artists I met at Joe’s Pub 25 years ago, sounding great, dressed like (as he described “a gay Batman villain”), bringing out NPR’s Ira Glass for a special duet. And at Pub director Alex Knowlton’s encouragement, we stayed for the second show, Hole!, a two-person musical theater piece by American Sing-Song (ASS) which will likely not make it to the UAE, but returns to EdFringe this summer. Super entertaining, well-structured and lean music theater Hole! is an epic love story set in the apocalyptic aftermath of The Great Sucking, when the only people left on Earth are the fanatical Nebraskans. (I’ve already said too much).
I had a wonderful conversation with @rebeccatkaplan over at @officialbroadwayworld about my upcoming show at @joespub 🎫
Come see The Way I Feel Inside live at Joe’s Pub, June 3rd at 9:30PM. Tickets and full interview at the link in bio.

This video makes me cry with joy because I know my dad will be dancing in the crowd again… this time I just won’t be able to see him with my eyes. 🤍
The only thing that’s really changed since this show at @clubgroovenyc is that I’m finally proud of how big my feelings are. That’s what makes me the singer and songwriter that I am.
Playing @joespub has been a dream of mine for years, and this night is going to be incredibly special with my five-piece band!!
If you’ve ever wanted to see me live, this is the night.
One night only. Tickets in bio — selling fast.
