Xavier Smith and his cadre of badass musical guests return to Joe's Pub after a year hiatus for a very special 9th anniversary group themed edition of his Ladies Of Soul Tribute. Need a little TLC? A sledge of sisterhood? Come get you some! Now celebrating its tenth year, guests of the show that New York Magazine’s Approval Matrix called “brilliant” have included Tony Award winner Lena Hall, Adeline, Stephin Merritt, Mykal Kilgore, Martha Redbone, Joan As Policewoman, Luke Jenner (The Rapture), Sxip Shirey, Rizo, Rachael Price (Lake Street Dive), Bright Light Bright Light, Del Marquis of Scissor Sisters, Cassondra James, and Bridget Barkan.

Xavier has received un-coerced praise for his vocal skills from some of the biggest names in the business, including Madonna, D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige, Devo, Daryl Hall (Hall & Oates), Anita Baker, Lena Horne, TV on the Radio, Anohni, Danny Tenaglia, Toshi Reagon, and Ashford & Simpson. He's performed in Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. TV appearances include The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and various PBS specials. His UK debut on Virgin Records earned him a top ten hit. The Boys Choir of Harlem alum and Loser’s Lounge regular has collaborated on recordings with Poolside, Scissor Sisters, Horse Meat Disco, JD Samson, Slow Knights, Nova Social, Tamar Kali, Young & Sick, New Power Generation, Elton John, Diane Birch, and Busta Rhymes.
