Event Details
Join us at Bryant Park on Thursday, June 18 from 7 PM to 9 PM for a special Pride Month celebration as part of the Bryant Park Picnic Performances Presented by Bank of America. Presented in partnership with Joe’s Pub, the evening features a dynamic double bill of groundbreaking artists. Headlining the program is Joan As Police Woman (Joan Wasser), the acclaimed Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose genre-defying career has included collaborations with artists such as Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Anohni & The Johnsons, and David Byrne. Also taking the stage is Britton & The Sting, a funk liberation band led by Tony Award-winning artist-activist Britton Smith, whose electrifying performances celebrate radical authenticity, collective joy, and community. Together, these visionary artists promise an unforgettable evening of music, connection, and Pride under the stars.
