Joe's Pub has announced the following upcoming events:
DANCENOW – DANCEMOPOLITAN SERIES
MONICA Bill Barnes & COMPANY’ SNOW GLOBES
February 10 at 7:00pm
February 11 at 7:00pm
$15 Advance / $20 Door
As part of the DanceNOW Dancemopolitan Series Monica Bill Barnes & Company along with guest performers will expose the trials of performing with deadpan humor in The Snow Globe Show. Inspired by vaudeville and silent film, this evening length work capitalizes on the possibility that anything can happen during a live show. Performers Monica Bill Barnes and Anna Bass attempt to tackle the tribulations of showmanship and stage fright as unexpected interruptions send the show spinning off in new directions. Special Guests may or may not make any of their entrances on time or at all during this evening length romp, which celebrates the lives of performers and the magic and failure that can only happen in front of an audience.
PAT MCGEE
February 11 at 9:30pm
$20 Advance / $25 Door
For Pat McGee, there is no wrong way to make music as long as you’re making it. This Virginia native has found his niche making this his most personal record yet. ‘No Wrong Way to Make a Right” from its inception, has not been without struggle and sums up a lot of issues McGee had previously shied away from. However, he stays true to the melody and lyrics that seem to come so naturally to him. With this album McGee’s has seem to find the genre he is most comfortable in, creating a record that is the most genuine and heartfelt record that strips McGee to the core and brings to light where his heart lies, in the music.

$15
Laura Veirs grew up in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and listened to folk, country, classical and pop music around the house and on the radio during her youth. She put out her own self-titled album Laura Veirs, recorded live and featuring just her and guitar, in 1999. She has since made five highly acclaimed records with producer Tucker Martine. 2003 saw the release of Troubled by the Fire, a full-band effort that found the artist sharing the studio with such luminaries as Bill Frisell and violist Eyvind Kang. She signed to Nonesuch Records the following year with the atmospheric follow-up Carbon Glacier. Year of Meteors followed in August 2005. She collaborated with The Decemberists on “Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)”, from their 2006 album The Crane Wife. Her sixth record, Saltbreakers, was released worldwide on Nonesuch Records in April 2007. Veirs’ seventh album, July Flame, was released in January 2010 on her own record label, Raven Marching Band Records (in North America) and on Bella Union (in Europe and the rest of the world). Veirs tours frequently in Europe, North America and Australia both solo and with a backing band consisting of a rotating cast including Karl Blau, Steve Moore, Tucker Martine, Keeley Boyle, Nelson Kempf, Eric Anderson, Kate O’Brien-Clarke and Alex Guy.
