Event information

WESLEY STACE

Wesley Stace was born in Hastings, East Sussex, and currently lives in Philadelphia. He released many albums under the name John Wesley Harding, before switching back to his birth name for more recent recordings, including 2021’s Late Style, and has recorded duets with, among others, Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed, and Rosanne Cash.

Stace has published four novels, including the international bestseller Misfortune, and recently co-authored Mark Morris’ memoir Out Loud. His Cabinet of Wonders, a monthly show at New York City’s City Winery, was described by The New Yorker as “one of the finest nights of entertainment this city has to offer.”

EMANUEL AYVAS

Emanuel Ayvas is an acclaimed songwriter, musician, producer, and composer for various genres and styles of music, film, and theatre. In a 18-year career, he's produced and released 15 professional studio albums receiving high praise globally.

The Guardian described his band Emanuel And The Fear as “like Rachel’s wigging out to Zeppelin while in the background Steve Albini tickles Michael Nyman into submission . . . [with] enough orchestral synthesis to make ELO blush”.

He also releases music under his own name as a solo artist and leads and co-writes for the Brooklyn psych-rockers Pale Ramon and a noise outfit Ayvas And Baller.
