Antony at the WNYC piano (David Garland/WNYC)Antony and the Johnsons
Antony and the Johnsons join host David Garland to perform and present their music in the WNYC studio. Antony is noted for the passion, beauty and intensity of his voice, and Laurie Anderson describes Antony's singing as "the most exquisite thing that you will hear in your life." Antony began performing in the '90s during late-night punk-cabaret shows at the Pyramid Club, and his new album, "I Am a Bird Now," is beginning to grab a wide audience, with its provocative blend of romantic music, intense passion, and lyrics that explore aspects of personal and gender identity. Antony will sing and play his songs with the Johnsons (cellist Julia Kent and guitarist Kevin Barker), and we'll hear from the new album. After his in-studio performances, Antony serves as guest DJ, sharing some of his all-time favorite recordings of gospel, '80s pop, belly dance music, and more.
