New York’s Joan Wasser is the one police
officer whose tickets you want to get
your hands on. The last time she played in
Melbourne people were doing anything to
get into the sold-out gig, and this rare solo
performance will be an even hotter item.
To launch her new three-disc extravaganza
Joanthology, Joan As Police Woman will play
an intimate solo concert that strips away
the trimmings to reveal the essence of her
incredible songwriting. Six studio albums
and more than 1,000 live performances have
seen her honing her craft to perfection,
and the peers who have sought her out for
collaborations include the likes of Lou Reed,
Rufus Wainwright, ANOHNI and John Cale.
Within the acoustically sublime Melbourne
Recital Centre, Joan will perform her
songbook on piano and guitar, affording her
many fans the event they’ve longed to hear.
