March 19, 2020 Queer Forty Staff 2 min read

Tuesday, Joe’s Pub, a program of The Public Theater, announced Joe’s Pub Live!, a free series of live-streamed and archived performances from their iconic stage in New York City.

To facilitate social connection during this time of social distancing, while supporting performing artists at every stage of their careers, Joe’s Pub Live! will share concerts with their audiences each Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 8PM EST.

This week’s schedule of performances will feature Michelle J. Rodriguez’s MICHA Música on Thursday, March 19 at 8PM, which was the 2020 offering from In Transit – the Mobile Unit and Joe’s Pub’s collaborative series.

With a voice that is “clear and compelling” and a sound that features “flourishes of bolero, bossa nova and even jazz” (Chicago Tribune), MICHA — the project of vocalist, songwriter, musical theater composer and actor Michelle J. Rodriguez — has captivated audiences at Joe’s Pub (NYC), The Hideout (Chicago), and Steppenwolf (Chicago). With her stunning vulnerability onstage, Rodriguez’s project was a finalist for NPR’s 2018 Tiny Desk Contest for her song “Nena Nena Nena”.

Member of the Joe’s Pub Working Group Class of 2018 Tori Scott‘s Tori Scott is PICKLED! will be presented on Friday, March 20 at 8PM.

Known for her cabaret shows, which take true stories from her life and turn them into musical celebrations, Tori Scott returns to Joe’s Pub and is staying on brand with her new show Tori Scott IS PICKLED!. With music ranging in genre’s from Judy Garland to Queen, Tori will take you a shameless, drunk musical journey celebrating her poor life choices and love of vodka.

Member of the Joe’s Pub Working Group Class of 2019 Migguel Anggelo‘s LatinXOXO will be presented on Saturday, March 21 at 8PM.

Migguel Anggelo is back at Joe’s Pub shattering the boundaries of gender in a striptease of “Latin Lover” clichés perpetuated by his family’s expectations. In an outrageously queer concert experience, Migguel moves through iconic pop hits, original compositions, and the Spanish boleros of his youth, reminding us that our greatest love is right there in the mirror.
