EJ Barrett (Live)

After garnering international attention for the debut single Paint Me A Picture, EJ is now taking to the stage to share this project live for the very first time.

Using only voice, body percussion, breath and a loop station, EJ infuses soul jazz folk and indie pop to create rhythmic layers of harmony about life as a polyamorous millennial parent.
Join us for an intimate adventure of modern dating, queerdom, the limitations of the nuclear family, and several F bombs.

Supporting acts:
La Banda, folk latin jazz reggae fusion, featuring Mireya Ramos on violin (Flor de Toloache, NYC/Puerto Rico), Bobby Ravensdaughter on guitar (Lithuania/Canada), Nico Paladini on congos and charrango (Banana Mundo, Argentina) and Andres Duran on bass (Banana Mundo, Uruguay).
Plus, Comedic feminist poet Kate Spencer, with hilarious rhymes about love, lust, polyamory, periods, and other stories from life.
