Newport Live and the Jamestown Arts Center will present award-winning singer/songwriter Wesley Stace on Saturday, October 12, at 7 pm at the Jamestown Arts Center.
Stace, born in Hastings, Sussex, in 1965, has released 17 albums under the name John Wesley Harding and four novels. He has appeared on numerous television shows and collaborated with artists such as Lou Reed, Rosanne Cash, Iggy Pop, John Prine, and Bruce Springsteen.
His most recent album, Out Loud: Mark Morris, is a memoir co-written with the choreographer Mark Morris. Misfortune was published in 2004 and was one of Amazon’s Top Ten Novels of the Year.
Stace’s Cabinet of Wonders, a variety show based at City Winery in New York City, continues to sell out. The show has been praised as “one of the finest nights of entertainment this city has to offer,” and “a brilliant evening of laid-back fun.”
Tickets to the event are $35 and are available online.
