Joey Arias • Looking Back At The Future

THE AFTERGLOW FESTIVAL presents Joey Arias The goddess returns! Joey Arias first came to Provincetown in 1976, an era of magical bohemia, to hang out with John Waters, Cookie Mueller and others; returning in the increasingly glamorous years with fashionisti Antonio Lopez, Jerry Hall, Grace Jones and gang. “It was a crazy mashup and everyone’s head was spinning! It was all so new to me and I was so young and ready for more,” Arias recalls. “I’ve always seen P-Town as the gateway to the future, which is why I return every year. There is a voice on the wind that calls me back.” Looking Back To The Future is part cabaret, part memory play, part tell-all and part time-traveling trip from the most transformational singer and performance artist of our, or any, time. With musical director Drew Wutke.
