Former chic songstress Alfa Anderson will take center stage at Joe's Pub on July 7th to celebrate the release of her new solo album, MUSIC FROM MY HEART.

Alfa Anderson is soul and dance music icon whose voice defines an entire era of popular music. As one of the original lead vocalists in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-nominated group, Chic, she helped producers Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards build a mountain of gold and platinum albums with hits like "Le Freak," "Good Times," and "I Want Your Love." To the delight of fans all around the world, Alfa's "soulful, sensitive delivery" (Billboard) takes center stage with the release of Music From My Heart (2017), her very first full-length solo album.

Music From My Heart spotlights an impressive range of songs that Alfa wrote and co-produced with the multi-talented Bert Price. The album's first single "When Luther Sings" features Alfa's rousing, heartfelt tribute to her longtime friend Luther Vandross, while powerful ballads like "Sending You Love" and sizzling club tracks like "Dancing Is My Release" add the exclamation point to Alfa's long-awaited solo debut.

Earlier this year, Anderson released a heartfelt tribute to her friend, Luther Vandross, with the release of the single, When Luther Sings. SoulTracks said of When Luther Sings, "The feeling is at once nostalgic and modern, providing a summery vibe that is sure to make listeners groove both in the car and on the dance floor." For years, Anderson was an integral member of Vandross' touring band and performed at Wembley Stadium, among many other prestigious venues around the world. Her vocals can be heard on popular Vandross albums such as Give Me the Reason and The Night I Fell in Love, which Rolling Stone Magazine voted as one of the 100 Best Albums of the Eighties.

The concert will take place at Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette Street (bet. E 4th Street and Astor Place). Doors open at 6pm; Show time: 7:30pm. Tickets are on sale for $25 and can be purchased by calling the box office at 212-967-7555 or by visiting Joe's Pub/Public Theater.
