Dessy Di Lauro at Vancouver FanClub

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Sometimes a press release writes itself. Take, for example, the one for Dessy di Lauro, who lands at Vancouver FanClub on Friday (July 26) with her Ragtime show. We could come up with all kinds of clever descriptions for the singer and multimedia artist who’s toured the world with the likes of Madonna and had a featured role with Cirque du Soleil’s Delirium. Instead, let’s let di Lauro get you into the tent herself. The singer promises a night of “Feathered Fro-Hawk Futuristic Art Deco–Centric Harlem Renaissance Hep Music”. Lest that sound like something that Flavor Flav might screech out between bong hits, let us translate for you: di Lauro has concocted a theatrical speakeasy type show that blends 1920s and ’30s jazz with modern-day R&B. You know what that means—purple drank one round, gimlets the next. And don’t forget to dress like a flapper, even if you happen to be a dude.
