“And he could have married Annie”
Another sold out event (see previous news item) in the closing days of the David Bowie is exhibition at the MCA in Chicago, takes place on the penultimate day of the museum’s hugely successful run, Saturday (Jan 3rd), between 18:00 and 19:30.
Musician Annie Clark, (who records as St. Vincent and whose most recent album, St. Vincent, was named album of the year by NME… deservedly so), joins Chicago-based writer Jessica Hopper in conversation about David Bowie’s influence on her work as a songwriter and performer.
Annie very kindly sent us this exclusive tribute…
“David Bowie’s mutating aesthetic and persona are as much an instrument as his voice or guitar. Sound and vision: hero, icon, alien.“
Thanks for that Annie, very much appreciated.
FOOTNOTE: Though the event sold out very quickly, it may be worth noting the MCA statement regarding sold out shows: “Tickets may be available for sold out events. Patrons are encouraged to come one hour prior to the program start time to join the waitlist.”
