Legendary performer Kevin Aviance brings his new solo show, The Lost Sessions, to The Delancey for one night only with music and ambiance by DJ Uri Dalal. Known for his chart-topping dance hits and outré style, Kevin is the very essence of the NYC nightlife underground.
Four #1 Billboard Dance hits, a dozen groundbreaking music videos and a fan base stretching to from New York to Tokyo made him an icon in the international dance music scene. His gender bending, avant-garde fashions made him a style icon and his proud presence, political activism and his command of the Queens English made him an LGBT icon.
Performer. Artist. Musician. Designer. Nightclub legend. Kevin has always been there for our entertainment, but what about the person behind the persona? The stories behind the glamour? Kevin has worked with international stars of pop, fashion and art... and yet arguably his most famous moment found him waking up in a hospital bed with his mouth wired shut. The Lost Sessions are the legends, the myths and autobiographical tall-tales that comprise Kevin Aviance, 'Kabarettart.' (Thats German, gurl!)
Doors open at 7:30. Show starts at 8:00.
The audience is invited to stay for PUSSY FAGGOT! Homo for the Holidaze, hosted by Kevin's friend and mentor Penny Arcade. Penny's critically acclaimed international hit show Longing Lasts Longer runs at St. Ann's Warehouse from December 1 - 10. Discounted $20 tickets are available when you use the code NASTYWOMAN when purchasing tickets in advance.
