An Evening With Mai Khôi and the Dissidents, January 10 at Club Cafe.


Opus One Productions presents "An Evening With Mai Khoi and the Dissidents" on January 10. A biography, from her official site:
Mai Khôi is an award-winning singer, composer, and activist. She rose to stardom in 2010 after winning the Vietnam Television Song and Album of the Year awards as one of the first female songwriters in Vietnam. As a pop star, Khôi released seven albums in genres of Vietnamese pop and dance, and made regular nationally televised performances. Several years later she became increasingly uncomfortable having to submit her work to government censors and, thinking she could reform the system from within, nominated herself to run in the National Assembly elections on a pro-democracy platform. Her campaign sparked a nationwide debate about political participation and culminated in a meeting with Barack Obama in May 2016. Her activism came at a high price, however: she had her concerts raided, was evicted from multiple residences, and was detained and interrogated by the police.
. . .
Since 2019, Mai Khôi has lived in exile in the USA. In 2019, she was a resident artist at SHIM:NYC, and in 2020, she was awarded an Artist Protection Fund Fellowship in cooperation with the University of Pittsburgh, City of Asylum, and the International Free Expression Project. Mai Khôi was an Exiled Writer and Artist in Residence at City of Asylum in Pittsburgh from 2020-2023; she has continued to reside in Pittsburgh after the conclusion of this residency.
Tickets for the ages 21+ show are available online. Club Cafe is located at 56 S. 12th St. on the South Side (map).

Lyn Lapid performing in Pittsburgh, January 29.


Singer-songwriter Lyn Lapid will perform in Pittsburgh on January 29.
A classically trained musician, unpredictable vocal dynamo, and fearless genre-breaker, Lyn Lapid asserts herself as an individual through and through. At 21-years-old, the Filipino American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist has unassumingly emerged as an unapologetic and undeniable voice for her generation. In 2018, Lyn started to build a following by posting covers of artists like Daniel Caesar, H.E.R., Ariana Grande, Edith Piaf, Sarah McLachlan and many more, where she amassed over 60 million-plus views and counting on her channel. In late 2019, Lyn launched her TikTok page, building an audience of 5 million followers and over 1 billion views at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, a snippet of her first original, “Producer Man,” exploded. Produced by Dan Nigro [Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray], the song gathered over 70 million views and 8 million likes and exploded as “the most-viewed unreleased demo on a TikTok video in 2020.”

Following the breakout success of “Producer Man,” she debuted a string of viral releases in 2021, including “Itsy Bitsy,” “Infinite,” and “In My Mind.” The latter eclipsed 111 million Spotify streams and counting and paved the way for 2022’s acclaimed The Outsider EP. Along the way, she received co-signs from Billie Eilish, BTS’ Jungkook, and Sabrina Carpenter, toured with Eric Nam, Ricky Montgomery, and Claire Rosinkranz, and earned praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, Buzzfeed, E! Online, Refinery29, HYPEBAE, Idolator, Ones To Watch, and more.

In June 2023 the songstress maintained her prolific pace with the follow-up, to love in the 21st century EP. She supported the project by selling out all 20 cities on her first nationwide headline tour that summer. Amassed over 700 million streams to date and with more music and touring on the horizon, Lyn Lapid has affirmed herself as a star on the rise.
The show at Thunberbird Cafe & Music Hall in Lawrenceville (map) starts at 7:00 pm and tickets for the all-ages show are available online. VIP tickets including a meet-and-greet are available as well.
