Joe Lewis ’75 is performing at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on Thursday, Jan. 25, at 4 p.m. The performance, "Three Black Bungalows," reunites Joe Lewis, Marion Cowings, and David Wells in songs of love, resistance, and poverty. The show is free and open to the public.

Joe Lewis, a renowned artist, has performed internationally with the likes of Charles Mingus, Keiko Bonk, and Julius Eastman. The performance piece is inspired by Lewis’ album, Three Black Bungalows, which was released in early October. It is an eight-song vinyl and 10-song CD with a blues flavor, garnished with folk and classical sounds. The album can be found on Amazon, iTunes, and Spotify.
