Sarah Kilborne: The Lavender Blues: Queer Music Before World War II

Some of our most famous musical artists of the early 20th century were “in the life” (meaning gay, bisexual or transgender) and they sang about this life too, in a variety of genres such as blues, early jazz, ballads and pop. Modern cabaret performer Sarah Kilborne reveals a little-known yet revolutionary moment in music history when pioneering artists sang boldly about sexual and gender fluidity. A portion of this evening's proceeds will benefit the Hudson Pride Foundation's Scholarship Fund.
