Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls this Thursday, November 12

Amanda Palmer is the one-woman machine who is equal parts rock musician, artist, writer, director, yoga enthusiast, political activist and more-continues to take the world by storm and Port City Music Hall is proud to welcome her this Thursday, November 12.

Palmer originally made her name as lead singer, pianist and lyricist/composer of the "Brechtian punk cabaret" duo The Dresden Dolls. Having been on a world tour since last September when she released her critically acclaimed Ben Folds-produced solo debut Who Killed Amanda Palmer, Amanda has captivated audiences in Europe, North America, Australia and the U.K. with a theatrical stage show featuring a troupe of top-notch performance artists.




Opening for Amanda is NERVOUS CABARET, a singularly unique, ferociously addictive signature of music that could only have emerged from the streets of Brooklyn. Infinitely danceable subterranean nomad stomp. More loud than nervous, think Tom Waits as Qawwali Gypsy King, backed by Joy Division.



Get your tickets now at any Bull Moose music store or online HERE at brownpapertickets.com. Tickets are $18.00 in advance and $20.00 day of show. This is a 21+ event BUT if you are under 21 you may enter the venue provided you are accompanied by a legal guardian.

Don't miss this amazing night of live music and performance art...
