Hello and welcome to the home of Philly's dark cabaret/steampunk music scene! :)
this site is currently under development, but is meant to be a gathering point for Philly area Dark Cabaret performers with an interest in developing the Philly Cabaret scene more via group shows and the like. Please check back regularly for updates!
Behind the Curtain:
Philly Area Cabaret is the brainchild of Minerva Divine (dark cabaret singer/songwriter) and Emily L. (designer/photographer and neo-victorian/cabaret enthusiast.) More about us to come!
Who I'd like to meet: Philly Area (Dark) Cabaret performers (musicians, burlesque acts, performance artists..) and anyone with an interst in dark cabaret, neo-victorianism, steampunk etc.
He has the voice of a desolate angel and a talent that cannot be questioned. Please listen to the wonders of his music and add him as a friend. He deserves more acknowledgment as do most neglected prodigies in this world.
ah beans i'd love to make it out to the PAC meeting but my car, it mysteriously fills up with puddles of water, grows strange plants from it's sodden carpeting, and shakes violently during long trips. What's the trip about anyways? Did you ever recieve your package?
Hi Minerva & Emily, Happy to be connected here. Thanks for the kind words about my music. Let me know if you plan to be in the Los Angeles area in the future and we can dialogue about possible collaborations. Best, Jeudi
Hi! I just got back from wandering the streets of Doylestown trying very hard to find your show. Could not find it, finally retreated back to Norristown in disgrace. Blame Mapquest. I hope the show was great, I'm very disappointed to have missed it.
