Come together for an evening of storytelling and original music featuring resident songwriters Adeline Um, Emily McNally, and Kacia Flórez and storytellers Azhar Bande-Ali, Katherine Gan, and Paula Croxson. Songwriters and storytellers pair up to share their chosen stories through new songs never played live before, accompanied by a full band. Be a part of this very special Keepsake House showcase where performance, music, and conversation intersect.

Celebrate the new year and emergence of our 2024 Artists in Residence with an afternoon of songs, stories, and dim sum! Pass the dumplings and pour each other tea as Adeline Um, Azhar Bande-Ali, Emily McNally, Kacia Flórez, Katherine Gan, and Paula Croxson meet in the round to share original work on renewal and transformation. This winter, leave your cocoon and fill your soul with comfort food and community.

Gather around the songwriters’ table at the illustrious City Winery, complete with a full dinner menu and wine pairings. Korean-American jazz-pop songwriter and Keepsake all-star Sarah Kang joins Indian Film Music play-back singer Shakthisree Gopalan, Colombian-Ecuadorian Queens native folkloric songwriter Kacia Flórez, and many special guests to take turns in song and conversation about their experiences as women of color in the music industry.
