Join MoAD and SFJAZZ for an intimate performance in MoAD's gallery with August Lee Stevens.

‍

This hour long performance will showcase August's own sense of radical Black Joy as she performs original music from her upcoming projects. She'll pull from elements of folk, soul, and jazz in order to show her journey to understanding the rich history of her family and her identity in their story.

‍

August Lee Stevens (@augustleestevens) is an independent artist using music and video to invite conversation through her work. Her dynamic sound merges the lyrical rawness and simplicity of Folk songs with the lush melodies and vocals of Neo-Soul. She uses music to cut into the heart, inviting you into the most intimate moments of her life. Her music showcases that there is strength even in vulnerability, and through the sharing of music hopes to provide a platform for healing.
