Singer-songwriter, poet and visual artist Devendra Banhart has announced four ticketed livestreams that will stream on Wednesdays in September. The shows will be streamed from “four locations across Los Angeles” on Sept. 9, 16, 23 and 30. The series’ full title is ‘OLA: Devendra Banhart plays songs in the order they were written.’
According to a press release, “the unique locations were hand-picked by Banhart for their cultural, historical, and emotional significance: the Mountain, Bob Baker Marionette Theater, The Broad, and the Underground Museum.” In addition, “the concerts explore—in chronological order—songs from his catalog of ten albums.”
Each show will feature one of Banhart’s collaborators, including Noah Georgeson, Josiah Steinbrick, Gregory Rogove and Todd Dahlhoff.
Tickets can be purchased here. For details on each individual stream, see below.
