Justin Vivian Bond Instagram – Icing (Dec 19-21 & Jan 5-7)
Because my mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer three days before Christmas last year I’m doing my annual holiday show a little differently this time. I can’t face working on December 22 so I’m splitting it up and doing three days over the solstice and three days after the arrival of the new year. It’s going to be a celebration of winter, the solstice, and a return to the light I’m calling ICING at @joespub.
I love cake and my favorite part is the icing. One of my favorite phrases is Malgré tout je chante -Despite everything, I SING.
At the beginning of this year after laying my mom to rest I immediately got back to work. My band and I created five new shows: A Julie Valentine/London Calling, Mx Viv’s Birthday Bouquet, What Have You Done For Me Legislately? (our Pride show), Sex With Strangers, and now ICING! I went on the road touring “Only an Octave Apart” with my friend @arcostanzo , and next up @kennymellman and I are preparing a new 7 city @kikiandherb tour which ends in LA December 16th
ICING (Dec 19, 20, 21 & Jan 5, 6, 7) will literally be the frosting on a very tumultuous year.
On January 8th I’m taking a nice long vacation.
This gorgeous photo of Leather and I was taken by the extremely talented @robertlowry at The House of Whimsy for @buffalozine which was guest edited by my darling @catpowerofficial, another person who sings through it all, who I will be cheering on at Carnegie Hall on Valentine’s Day!
Get your tickets to ICING and Kiki & Herb at the link tree in my bio. 🤍❄️🤍
