Joanna Newsom has been mostly out of the spotlight in recent years (although she had a great Brooklyn Nine-Nine cameo in 2021). Her latest album is 2015’s Divers, and she performs live essentially never these days. So, today’s (March 11) news is exciting: Newsom just announced a residency.
The Strings/Keys Residence is going down at Los Angeles’ The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever, every day from May 15 to 19. The show on the 18th in particular is a special one, as it’s a matinee at 3:30 p.m. exclusively for children under 18 (and their guardian). (Somebody tell Jamie Lee Curtis to find a child to bring.)
Tickets go on sale starting March 15 at 10 a.m. PT. Find more information about tickets via TicketWeb.
A whimsically worded press release notes of the shows:
“Though she rides alone this time, Joanna comes equipped with her usual blistering wind-up double punch to wreak raptures upon harp and piano alike.
I know what you’re thinking — we’re all thinking it — What’s in the saddlebag, Newsom? It’s hard to tell from here, but darn if she doesn’t seem to packing some new tunes! What’s your pleasure? The golden oldies? Perhaps a cover song or two? A 17-minuter for the large-bladdered among us? Over the space of these five nights she’ll sing some, strum some, pluckety plunk some, and probably sonically boggle your noggin. The noggin inside your heart.”
