The iconic folk singer and author of Am I Pretty When I Fly? comes to DC on Wed., July 31st, at 7 p.m.!
Joan Baez released her first album in 1960. In 1962, at 21 years old, she appeared on the cover of Time magazine. At the March on Washington in 1963, Dr. King delivered his “I have a Dream” speech, and Baez sang “We Shall Overcome,” melding her identity as a singer and social activist. She’d go on to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and to receive the Ambassador of Conscience Award, Amnesty International’s highest honor.
In 2023, Baez appeared in the documentary “Joan Baez I Am a Noise” and released her acclaimed book of drawings, Am I Pretty When I Fly? Baez will be in conversation with Ari Shapiro, a host of NPR’s “All Things Considered” and the author of The Best Strangers in the World.
Hosted by Sixth & I Historic Synagogue, 600 I St., NW, Washington, DC. Learn more here.
