Live Wire with Luke Burbank
Join Emmy award-winning host Luke Burbank for the taping of Live Wire, the fastest growing entertainment show on public radio. We’ve got a late-night stride, an Oscar Wilde wit, and the charisma of Ferris Bueller grand marshaling a parade. Music, comedy, and conversation, live and packed with surprises. Featuring:R. ERIC THOMASR. Eric Thomas is the bestselling author of Here for It: Or, How to Save Your Soul in America, a Lambda Literary Award finalist, and the YA novel Kings of B’more, a Stonewall Honor book. Both books were also featured as Read with Jenna book-club picks on Today. He is also a television writer (Apple TV+’s Dickinson, FX’s Better Things), a Lambda Literary Award-winning playwright, and the long-running host of The Moth in Philadelphia. SAFIYA SINCLAIRSafiya Sinclair was born and raised in Montego Bay, Jamaica. She is the author of the memoir How to Say Babylon, the stunning story of her struggle to break free of her rigid Rastafarian upbringing, ruled by her father’s strict patriarchal views and repressive control of her childhood, to find her own voice as a woman and poet. Publisher’s Weekly calls it “a tour de force” and Kirkus Review writes that the book is “more than catharsis; this is a memoir as liberation.” NO-NO BOYNo-No Boy tells stories rooted in years of research and relationship-building, made vibrant and profound through a rich congregation of instrumental, environmental, and electronically manipulated sounds from Asia and America. The project developed as the central component of Julian Saporiti’s PhD at Brown University, drawing on years of fieldwork and research on Asian American history to write folk songs with uncommon empathy and remarkable protagonists: prisoners at Japanese American internment camps who started a jazz band, Vietnamese musicians turned on to rock ‘n’ roll by American troops, a Cambodian American painter who painted only the most beautiful landscapes of his war-torn home. Along the way he started to draw on his own family’s history, including his mother’s escape from Vietnam during the war. His 2021 album 1975 was called “a remarkably powerful and moving album,” by Folk Alley and “gentle, catchy and accessible folk songs that feel instantly familiar,” by NPR. His third album, “Empire Electric”, further examines narratives of imperialism, identity, and spirituality, and is being released by Smithsonian Folkways this fall.

Featuring:AUTHOR GUESTS TBAMUSICAL GUEST: NONBINARY GIRLFRIENDNONBINARY GIRLFRIEND is a bedroom punk band from PDX. The band is now celebrating the release of their first full-length album titled “BIG AND KIND,” and the release of their second music video, “BODY.” This June NONBINARY GIRLFRIEND was voted Best New Band in Portland, and also recorded a live session with KEXP! Inspired by bad days, kindness, and taking up space, NONBINARY GIRLFRIEND makes rock existential. Their music experiments with gender and sexuality through self-expression, siren-esque melodies, and reverberating instrumentals. The band hopes to spread validation and happiness through sound. Their music serves as a platform to make people feel seen by personifying their own experiences with sexual assault, queerness, gender expectations, and relationships.Tickets$30 General Admission$45 Preferred Seating (First 5 rows of Front Center Section – available in advance only) Click HERE for tickets.

Lo Preciso: A Flamenco Performance by Rafael Ramírez
Lo Preciso (which translate as “exactness” in English) is the newest contemporary Flamenco work by Spanish dancer and choreographer Rafael Ramírez. This intense solo dance work is accompanied by four musicians as a dueling quest for artistic precision and is an ecstatic call and response delivery of the masculine prowess of the genre. About the Artist: Rafael Ramírez hails from Malaga, Spain, and became a professional dancer at the age of 11 under the tutelage of such masters as “La Lupi”, Rafael Campallo, Oscar de los Reyes and Javier Barón. His steady ascent has led him to renown Flamenco festivals, including Jerez Festival, Gran Teatro Cervantes in Malaga, the Biennale of Seville and the Festival Internacional del Cante de las Minas (La Unión). He has performed throughout the world with the dance companies of luminaries such as Antonio Andrade, Carmen Mota, David Coria, Rafaela Carrasco and María Pagés and also took the stage at the most prestigious tablaos (flamenco venues) in Seville and Madrid.
