Joey Arias in Residence at Joe’s Pub

Sundays at 9:30 pm
February 27, January 3 and 10
Joe’s Pub
425 Lafayette
New York, NY
Tickets $25
Tickets

  • Jan. 27 – Sherry Vine and the SqueezeBox band!
  • Feb. 3 – Jazz pianist Frank Kimbrough

Dubbed “a demigod of the demimonde” by Time Out New York, legendary performance artist and chanteuse Joey Arias appears in his first residency at Joe’s Pub over a series of three Sundays this winter.  Harking back to the days of Bar d’O (the notorious West Village boîte where Arias reigned for nearly a decade), each week sees the Arias With A Twist star exploring a range of musical selections from Billie Holiday and popular standards to 70′s rock anthems and Klaus Nomi.  The residency is a warm up to Arias’ west coast tour, anchored by a headlining concert at the historic Castro Theater in San Francisco on Valentine’s Day.

Joey Arias | End of the World

Friday, December 21, 2012
Joe’s Pub
425 Lafayette
New York, NY 10003
Tickets: $25
Tickets

Music Direction & Piano: Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman)
Special Guests: The Pixie Harlots, Cornelius Loy (theramin) & Narcissister

Boldly flying in the face of the prognostications of the Mayan Calendar, Nostradamus and the revelations made to John, JOEY ARIAS ushers in the End of the World at Joe’s Pub on Friday, December 21. Following high-profile concerts this year at Central Park SummerStage and London’s Southbank Centre (as part of the Antony-curated Meltdown Festival), Arias brings his bawdy humor and incomparable vocal stylings to the intimacy of Joe’s Pub for an apocalyptic evening.

Presented in association with Earl Dax.
