Bipolar Express @ The Hudson Lodge, December 29

screen-shot-2016-12-19-at-5-01-35-pm Justin Vivian Bond and the Bipolar Band (Matt Ray, Claudia Chopek and NathAnn Carrera) are bringing their holiday-themed, cabaret-style show to the Hudson Lodge, in Hudson, on Thursday.

The Daily Beast described the show as, “A tale of two halves, the show begins as a sly and rollicking celebration of dysfunction and coping skills, and wraps up as a cleverly heartwarming Christmas pageant of sorts. Through it all, Bond’s engaging personality and quirky-yet-dignified stage presence infuse an eclectic set list of covers, holiday standards and original compositions with signature charm.”

DETAILS/LOCATION:
Thursday, December 29, 2016
Doors open at 8:00pm. Performance at 9:00pm, followed by Darkest Daze Dance Party hosted by Sammy Jo.
