Laurie Anderson

Laurie Anderson is one of today's premier performance artists. Known primarily for her multimedia presentations, she has cast herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist.

"Laurie Anderson is a singer-songwriter of crushing poignancy-- a minimalist painter of melancholy moods who addresses universal themes in the vernacular of the commonplace."

- Rolling Stone

HOMELAND (upcoming tour and next album)

A combination poem and concert, Homeland will look at rapidly changing twenty-first century America. Using the synthetic language of technology and sensuous language of song-writing and poetry, it will look at reality shows, American style totalitarianism, sentimentality and shifting images of empire.
