LISTENING TO RECORDS WITH JOE HAGAN

Date: September 19, 2024 at 7 pm

$15 General Admission

Black Box Theater, INDOORS

Vanity Fair special correspondent Joe Hagan brings a jazz kissa-inspired listening event to Kaatsbaan. In the spirit of Japanese listening cafés (kissa means café), Hagan invites listeners to enjoy selections from an eclectic vinyl collection through a pair of Klipsch La Scala speakers and a high-end vacuum tube amplifier, providing commentary and encouraging conversation between cuts. It will be a night of rare records and relaxed listening in high fidelity.

Joe Hagan is the author of Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine, which Dwight Garner of The New York Times called a “supple, confident, dispassionately reported and deeply well-written biography.” He has profiled some of the most significant figures and subjects of our time, including Stephen Colbert, Hillary Clinton, Beto O’Rourke, Bill Maher, Liz Cheney, and Henry Kissinger. In 2010, he discovered the diaries of singer Nina Simone and wrote about them for The Believer magazine.
