Inspired by traditional Gospel music services, this show is anything but traditional: Our Lady J promises to deliver a new testament of post-religious gospel music with a rousing set that promises to deliver you from your woes, sans the usual dogmatic baggage.
A self-proclaimed transexual spiritualist, Our Lady J is
revitalizing the genre one song at a time, while remaining true to what gospel music was intended to be- powerful, uplifting music for all of humankind.
Testimonials from the congregation:
"Stunning!" - New York Magazine

"Powerful! Our Lady J knows how to rock the house. She will have you singing her praises long after the show is over" - The Village Voice
"The sultry vocals of Our Lady J are a regular presence on the New York City and London underground music scenes.
