Music to the People

Today I am very excited because one of my favorite artists is coming to LA, and I've been waiting patiently for many years to see him. Antony and the Johnsons is one of the most truly artistic acts in music today. Antony's voice transcends what is usual and takes hold of something deep in your soul. Born in England (of course), moving to the States, and finding his home in the New York cabaret scene, Antony is a musician who's art is truly music. His voice is an instrument that expresses emotion like no other. A lot is made of his transgender issues, but I wouldn't put too much emphasis on that. He is unique and wonderful because of his music. He plays the oddest of venues so this show at the Disney Concert Hall (so odd) will be no exception. Be patient as his music is a bit slow. Once it sinks in, you won't be able to get it out of your head. This is the first song of his that I heard.
