Live Events

• The Philosophy of Modern Song - Live (Bawker)

  • "The songs were given beautiful arrangements by the five person band and Ms. Ndegeocello. Eyes closed, she oscillated between even, mellifluous tones and rhythmic spoken word. Another vocalist quietly riffed around her in tenor gospel. I felt the whole audience being affected, our brains attuned together to the songs."

• LIVE: Philosophy of Modern Song @92nd St. Y (The FM Club)

  • "André De Shields did the first parts - in 2019 he won the Tony and the Grammy for his role in Hadestown - sharply dressed and expressively reading with the skill one would expect of a performer of his stature. The songs and passages chosen (all the readings felt like excerpts and not the full text from the book) highlighted the most insightful and interesting of Dylan’s observations."
