Witness: Hillary’s Song Cycle
Catharsis Guaranteed. Pantsuit optional.
Meet the Hillary Clinton you never knew: sassy, sarcastic, and uncensored. This feminist concept album and cabaret show imagines Hillary’s turbulent inner world just after her shocking defeat in the 2016 election.
Featured on WNYC’s “All of It with Alison Stewart”. LISTEN:
“Hugely entertaining. She’s nailed Hillary’s journey.”
— Acoustic Magazine
“The songs strive to get inside Hillary's head and talk about what the loss might really have felt like for her on a personal, rather than political level.”
— BUST Magazine
“Comedic, cathartic.”
— TimeOut NY
“The show was so well done and it made our entire evening. You two are SENSATIONAL. Thank you for bringing joy to our lives. Onward!”
— Alessandra Biaggi, NY State Senator
Concept Album
"Witness" was first released as a concept album on November 8, 2017: the one year anniversary of the 2016 election.
The album was produced, engineered, performed, recorded, and designed by an all female creative team, featuring Deidre Rodman Struck (piano), Viva DeConcini (guitar), Mary Feaster (bass), Heather Wagner (drums), Allison Miller (additional percussion), Jackie Coleman (trumpet), Joelle Lurie (backing vocals), Kerry Pompeo (engineer), and Megan Piontkowski (art and design).
As Witness evolved on stage, more music was written and added, but the original 7 songs from the album still serve as the backbone of the show.
