The Bob Dylan Center® and Tulsa Artist Fellowship are pleased to present an evening of music and performance with Kalup Linzy to celebrate the March 3 release of his new album, “Not Ready to Say Goodbye.” Linzy will debut new songs and play favorites from his back catalog in the guise of a bewitching trio of characters—Joshua Justin Queen, Kaye Braswell and Taiwan Braswell—that he embodies to enact narratives of love, loss and self-empowerment from a decidedly queer perspective. Linzy will be accompanied by a four-piece band that does full justice to his classic soul and neo-R&B song stylings.

About the Artist
Tulsa Artist Fellow Kalup Linzy is a multidisciplinary artist whose work in music, performance, video and installation merges politically charged social commentary with reflections on race, gender, sexuality and his own upbringing in Florida. Linzy’s wry observations on popular culture often take the form of satires of television soap operas in which he plays multiple roles. In this vein, he has appeared on “General Hospital” and collaborated on projects with multi-hyphenate artists such as James Franco, Chloe Sevigny, Michael Stipe and Chan Marshall (Cat Power). Linzy’s work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Whitney Museum of American Art and other major institutions, and he is the recipient of awards from Creative Capital and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, among many others. As part of his work with Tulsa Artist Fellowship, Linzy owns and operates Queen Rose Art House, an artist residency and nurturing community space in the Kendall-Whittier neighborhood of Tulsa, OK.
