Doors 7:00pm - 10:00pm. Standing.\n\nSince 1979\, L onnie Holley has devoted his life to the practice of improvisational creat ivity. His art and music are born out of struggle and hardship\, but perha ps more importantly\, out of a furious curiosity and biological necessity. That drive manifests in drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, photography\, pe rformance\, music\, and filmmaking.\n\nHis art has been featured in exhibi tions and publications throughout the world\, and is in the collections of major museums\, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art\; The High Museu m of Art\; The Philadelphia Museum of Art\; The Smithsonian American Art M useum\; The National Gallery of Art\, Washington\, DC\; The Tate Modern\, and many others.\n\nHolley has released seven critically acclaimed albums ––Just Before Music\, 2012\; Keeping a Record of It\, 2013\; MITH\, 20 18\; National Freedom\, 2020\; Broken Mirror: A Selfie Reflection (with Ma tthew E. White)\, 2021\; Oh Me Oh My\, produced by JacknifeLee\, which inc ludes collaborations with Bon Iver\, Michael Stipe (REM)\, Moor Mother\, S haron Van Etten\, and Rokia Koné\; and Tonky\, dropping in March of 2025. His albums have been named in the top albums of the year by The Washingto n Post\, Newsweek\, Pitchfork\, The New Yorker\, among many other publicat ions. MITH was named one of the best albums of the decade by The New Yorke r.\n\nLonnie has toured extensively throughout the United States and the A mericas\, Europe\, Australia\, and New Zealand\, sharing stages with Bon I ver\, Animal Collective\, Deerhunter\, Bill Callahan\, Tinariwen\, Daniel Lanois\, and others. He has experimented with film\, photography\, and vid eo throughout his career. His directorial debut\, the narrative short I Sn uck Off the Slave Ship\, premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. The multiple award-winning 2023 podcast\, Unreformed: The Story of the Alabam a Industrial School for Negro Children\, follows the history of the infamo us reform school in Alabama (which witnesses refer to as a “slave camp f or children”). It profiles Holley’s early life and the cruelty he and thousands of others suffered at the hands of the state of Alabama. It was a finalist for the Peabody Award.\n\nThe much-anticipated Lonnie Holley: S culptures\, Paintings\, Sandstones\, Film\, Works on Paper &\; Music\, published by Rizzoli Electa and BLUM Books in March 2025\, is the first bo ok that explores the many facets of Holley’s artistic creativity.
