Get ready for a rock and roll revival like no other as award-winning rock vocalist Sophia Ramos takes the stage with No Parental Guidance, a genre-defying, music-driven solo performance that dives headfirst into the wild, unfiltered life of a downtown icon.
No Parental Guidance is a storytelling journey wrapped in grit, soul, and guitars. A raw and riveting chronicle of a perpetually irreverent Nuyorican singer who found her voice in the underground clubs of New York City’s 1980s and ’90s music scene. As critic Greg Tate once wrote, “Imagine Chaka Khan and Ozzy Osbourne morphing in mid-wail.” And The New Yorker said: “The music of Sophia Ramos defies stereotypes.”
Through original songs and lived-in stories, No Parental Guidance explores identity, survival, artistic rebellion, and the power of finding your own volume in a world that often tries to turn you down.
The evening will feature a special guest Sean Harkness on guitar, adding a fresh surge of sonic fire to an already electrifying experience.
