Abigail Washburn’s Post American Girl debut’s tonight, only at Joe’s Pub at the Public!  Commissioned by Joe’s Pub as part of its New York Voices series, the show features the music, artistry, and theater of a young woman’s journey from America to China and back.  The claw-hammer banjo and traditional folk arts of China meet in this cross-cultural experience.
