Jen Korte, known by her stage name “Lady Gang,” is bringing immersive art to St. Thomas with a Thursday event at Tillett Gardens that also celebrates the release of her newest album.
Korte’s innovative live performances have long captivated audiences in the Virgin Islands. As a one-woman show, she layers tracks of various instruments to create a rich, full sound, all while showcasing her vocal talent.
Now, she is poised to take her talents beyond the Virgin Islands. Her upcoming tour includes stops in Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado, and potentially a return to St. Thomas, where she has garnered significant local support.
Before embarking on her tour, though, Korte will host a free album release party on May 30 at Tillett Gardens. This event, the culmination of over two years of work, promises to be a significant cultural occasion for St. Thomas. In collaboration with local artist Amy Gibbs, Korte will present the island’s first immersive art exhibit. The evening will feature live music, food, drinks, and unique decorations, including life-sized cacti and astronaut suits.
