I remember writing about Abigail Washburn couple of months ago. I never thought I would have a chance to actually see her. But here’s the scoop – she and David Liang will be present at NYU’s Residential Hall Palladium on Thursday, Apr.29. at 7pm. This is a show you do not want to miss! For those who have never heard of Abigail and her Shanghai Restoration project, Abigail is an American Folk artist who started a project with electronic artist David Liang in collaboration with Sichuan Quake Relief. This project involved making a album that remix “voices and sounds” from China earthquake zone – the disaster that killed 88,000 people and made 5million destitute in May 2008 – in order to raise relief for victims that are still in need.
This time around, all donations from the event go to Haiti relief. This event consists of panel discussion of various NGOs in the end and awareness about the Shanghai restoration project as well. Highly recommend this event – the music is awesome if not anything (I wonder if she is performing or just talking?? will find out). Spread the word!
April 29.
7 – 9pm
