Lincoln Center Presents: Nightbirds, The Music of Labelle

June 28 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Labelle

Dream Machine Studio presents Nightbirds: The Music of Labelle, featuring Labelle founding member Nona Hendryx alongside a trio of original Labelle musicians—Eddie Martinez on guitar, Carmine Rojas on bass, and Jose Rossy on percussion. Guest vocalists include Ledisi, Sandra St. Victor, Kimberly Nichole, and Tony Award-winning Adrienne Warren. Special co-host Patti LaBelle joins the celebration making it a night to remember! This is a celebration of the metamorphosis of a ‘60s cookie-cutter girl group known as Patti LaBelle and The Bluebelles into Afrofuturist rock, funk, R&B, and gospel sirens. The queens of “Wear Something Silver” gave us the #1 worldwide hit “Lady Marmalade,” became the first African-American female group to perform at The Metropolitan Opera House in 1974, and delivered anthems like “What Can I Do for You” and “Can I Speak to You Before You Go to Hollywood?” Join us as we resurrect the magic, funk, and pure power of Labelle. Come dressed in your most iconic silver outfit. This performance will be ASL interpreted.
