Nomi Ruiz Live

Nuyorican singer/songwriter Nomi Ruiz’s debut hip-hop soul LP ‘Lost in Lust’ was just the beginning. Since then, she’s spent decades as a pioneering trans artist, gracing prestigious stages with dance music collective Hercules & Love Affair before creating and fronting the R&B, punk, and house fusion band Jessica 6. Described as "the spiritual lovechild of Andy Warhol and Grace Jones with the spookily effortless air of a future pop icon" by The Guardian, Ruiz continues to build upon a body of work that threads soul and electronic music into a unique experience that is better felt than described. Joined by an ensemble of world-class musicians Monika Heidemann (keys/vocals), Joy Joseph (percussion/vocals), Josh Werner (bass) and special guest Felipe Skandal (electric guitar), Ruiz mines a collection of her most moving works from Jessica 6’s pop-punk anthems to her solo explorations of gritty torch songs. Expect raw, gritty, real New York storytelling that guides you into the unknown.
