From the venue:
The national face of bounce music breaks binary gender roles and dance floors. A Big Freedia set may not last very long, but the New Orleans diva dispenses more energy in 20 minutes than a lesser artist could muster in an hour. Her music is infectious, melding glitchy electronic beats and hip-hop in a call-and-response style that’s always best experienced live, especially with other sweaty dancers. Big Freedia is coming off of a difficult year: She received three years of probation in August after pleading guilty to housing voucher theft (an unintentional crime, she says). But her music thrives on, letting everything loose, troubles and all, and this show will be no exception.
