First Avenue presents Joan as Police Woman (at The Cedar)
with Roma di Luna (duo)
First Avenue presents Joan As Police Woman, touring in support of her latest album The Deep Field. The 'Deep Field' is an image captured by the Hubble space telescope of a region inside the constellation Ursa Major, of the youngest and most distant known galaxies. Deep Field is also a relaxation technique to enable profound physiological and psychological change, a novel about a young woman's emotional awakening against the backdrop of global conflict and a band from Charleston, Georgia. But while change, growth and music all figure on Joan 'As Police Woman' Wasser's astounding new album, it's the Hubble image that gave birth to its title. "I found a photo of a slice of space that is just a tiny spot to the bare eye. But because space is infinite as we understand it so far, the spot spans a massive area, the distance so far, the length so wide, the depth so vast. We know so little about our surroundings. And as is the macrocosm, so is the microcosm, how deep can you delve into your own life... it's endless too."
Opening tonight will be Cedar faves Roma di Luna, performing as a duo.
