Jessye Desilva in Concert

Description

Purchase concert tickets at the Gloucester Meeting House.

Jessye DeSilva infuses hope into songs about religious alienation, mental health struggles, and societal injustice to create a uniquely queer and unholy ruckus. Jessye’s newest album Glitter Up the Dark, produced by Aaron Lee Tasjan, is getting rave reviews. She writes about the album “Aaron and I came up with the idea to write an album that would center the idea of joy, in a broad sense…specifically, the joy of marginalized communities…joy is something you have to fight and work for. Standing strong in the sense of yourself…” Glitter up the Dark is an astonishing and nuanced meditation on community, memory, resistance and survival arriving at a necessary and vital time.
