With five Grammy® wins and sixteen nominations, Howard follows up her massively acclaimed solo debut Jaime—a 2019 LP that landed on best-of-the-year lists from the likes of Pitchfork, the New York Times, and Rolling Stone – with What Now, drawing an immense and indelible power from endless unpredictability. Over the course of its 12 tracks, Howard brings her singular musicality to a shapeshifting sound encompassing everything from psychedelia and dance music to dream-pop and avant-jazz—a fitting backdrop for an album whose lyrics shift from unbridled outpouring to incisive yet radically idealistic commentary on the state of the human condition. At turns galvanizing, cathartic, and wildly soul-expanding, the result is a monumental step forward for one of the most essential artists of our time. With special guest June McDoom. Important Event Info: Please note this event is General Admission and is standing room only, no chairs. Parking is available at Humphreys for $25. Free public parking lots are located nearby on Shelter Island Brittany Howard on Facebook / Instagram

"Madama Butterfly" by Giacomo Puccini San Diego Civic Theatre 1100 Third Avenue San Diego, CA 92101 Friday, April 26, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, April 28, 2024 at 2 p.m. Amidst the cherry blossoms of Nagasaki, a young woman makes a stand to support herself as a geisha after her disgraced father takes his life. Fate intervenes and brings her an American Naval Officer and she falls desperately in love. Unaware she is just a distraction to him, she believes they are married and renounces her religion as he sails away promising to return. And he does return, ready to take their child and raise him with his American wife. With her broken heart, she must choose to live with dishonor or die with honor. These performances star soprano Corinne Winters (last heard as Violetta in 2017’s "La traviata") and tenor Adam Smith as Pinkerton in his "Company" debut. San Diego Opera’s Principal Conductor Yves Abel returns to lead the San Diego Symphony with Jose Maria Condemi directing these performances. LANGUAGE – Sung in Italian with English and Spanish text projected above the stage RUN TIME – 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one intermission.
