Black Thursday is night of music created by Honey Mahogany & her chosen family of collaborators to celebrate and manifest collective power.
For the 8th show of our Roar Shack Live! season, Honey Mahogany will present Black Thursday: a night of music and performance to celebrate and manifest collective power.
Honey Mahogany is a multi-hyphenate San Francisco legend who has worked in drag, music, and political organizing as a force for queer and trans voices in the Bay Area and beyond.
Honey was the first San Franciscan on RuPaul’s Drag Race, and was one of the first contestants to release commercially available music: her debut single It’s Honey was released in 2012, and she has recorded with myriad collaborators ever since. She has worked with everyone from youth hip-hop group the Alphabet Rockers to punk legends The Homobiles to her and The Living Earth Show’s own queer music collective COMMANDO.
As the co-founder of The Stud Collective, she created Black Fridays, SF’s first all-Black queer variety show, and hosted Mahogany Mondays for five years in the Castro, featuring women, trans people, and people of color performing everything from live music to burlesque.
Featuring legendary guest performers by SF drag and music legends Dulce De Leche, Militia Towers, and Lambert Moss and a backing band comprised of The Living Earth Show (guitarist Travis Andrews and drummer Andy Meyerson) and bassist Van Jackson-Weaver, Black Thursday will be a one night only celebration of strength and community.
