The world-renowned Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca celebrates 15 years at Joe's Pub at The Public with a career retrospective that features the company's best-known works as well as selections from Antigona, a brand new piece commissioned by Joe's Pub as part of the New York Voices series. Noche Flamenca was founded by artistic director Martin Santangelo and his Bessie award-winning wife Soledad Barrio. Writing in the New York Times, the chief dance critic Alastair Macaulay has called Barrio "an intensely dramatic dancer," noting that her skilled footwork expresses "the brilliance and color of flamenco rhythm." Although deeply rooted in the beautiful Flamenco culture of Madrid, Noche Flamenca's authentic gypsy heritage was reborn in New York City. The company maintains the essence, purity and integrity of one of the world's most complex and mysterious art forms, creating powerful performances that radiate off the Joe's Pub stage. "There is an intimacy we can achieve in terms of the work, the audience, the partnership, at Joe's Pub which could not exist anywhere else," said Santangelo.

To celebrate the continuing work of the company that brought William Blake and Michael Thomas Murray's Echoes of Etta to Joe's Pub, this electric joyride into the life of famed artist Keith Haring returns to the Public Theater as a concert of songs to benefit Theatre C. Theatre C, in consultation with Two River Theater, is developing the acclaimed musical into an exhilarating 360-degree immersive experience, complete with supercharged choreography, surround-sound and video. In the full production, the audience members will be the guests to the grand Party of Life in 1990, celebrating Haring's body of work. The event abruptly transforms into an unexpected joyride through his existence, as we face the joys, obsessions, inspirations, and addictions that defined Haring's short, yet unparalleled life, from unassuming misfit artist to superstar maestro and activist.

Tuesday, February 25 at 9:30 PM
$25 Every month Bridget Everett & The Tender Moments bring their funny yet gut-wrenching and outrageous performance to Joe's Pub at The Public. Led by the singing tour de force Bridget Everett, "a mouthy, flesh-jiggling early Bette Midler" (New York Times), the band has sold-out venues nationally and instantly developed a cult-like following with their edgy, sexed-up, punk rock cabaret. Each performance is as explosive as it is unpredictable, welcoming special guests as varied as Fred Armisen, Patti LuPone, Flea, Dan Finnerty (The Dan Band), Tonya Pinkins, Marc Shaiman, Erin Markey, Peaches, Neal Medlyn and Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters) while fans such as Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Andy Cohen and Lily Taylor can be seen laughing hysterically in the audience. Imagine Freddy Mercury, Richard Pryor and Sophie Tucker had a baby, and then you might be getting close ... maybe. Bridget Everett & The Tender Moments are poised to release their debut album of original music in October 2013 featuring the singles "Titties," "What I Gotta Do," and "Fuck Shit Up." DOM LA NENA & PIERS FACCINI

Brazilian born cellist and vocalist Dom La Nena released her debut album, Ela, on Six Degrees Records in January, 2013. Ela is a stunningly intricate and understated collection of thirteen original compositions, sung in Portuguese and Spanish. Dom's delicate vocals and multi-tracked cello on the album are supported by spare, minimal arrangements by co-producer and label mate Piers Faccini. Melodies and words are in Faccini's bones and his finely crafted songs resonate with traces of his ancestry. If his songs were maps they would stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the parched plains of the Mediterrannean before spanning the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Mississippi Delta.DAWN LANDES: Bluebird CD Release
