“Hello cruel world / I’m not going away / So I might as well have my say,” Jackson sings on his new album. Since his 1979 debut, Look Sharp!, Jackson has evolved into a versatile artist who effortlessly transitions between pop, jazz, classical, and big band. His versatility and dozens of albums showcase his craftsmanship as a composer, pianist, and storyteller. In his long career, he won a Grammy and also wrote film scores for films such as Tucker: The Man and His Dream and Queens Logic. His lyrics are sharp, his compositions rich and layered.

While many of his contemporaries lost their passion, their voice, or even their lives, Joe Jackson continues to reinvent himself. Hope and Fury is perhaps his best album to date. During this show, he will be performing both new material and songs from his extensive catalog with a full band.
