The Legendary Lypsinka to Perform in the Bergdorf Goodman Windows for Fashion's Night Out 9/8
Interview in Dirty Magazine
DIRTY: HOW WAS YOUR WEEK?
JOHN EPPERSON: It was busy! I've been very busy getting ready for my Fashion's Night Out performance at Bergdorf Goodman.
D: ARE YOU EXCITED?
JE: Well, if I get excited then I won't sleep!
D: CAN YOU TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE PLANNED, WITHOUT GIVING TOO MUCH AWAY?
JE: I've known for a while that this event was going to take place, and they requested a 10 minute performance. I usually work to a recording, and I was trying to think what recording I had that was already made and 10 minutes long, and was appropriate for performing in such a small space… And the only one I could think of wasn't appropriate! So when I was on vacation in Vermont this summer, driving around in the car listening to CDs, I heard something by a singer that I like a lot, named Marilyn Maye. There were a couple of songs on that CD that I thought would be good, and so I made a new recording using two of her songs, but they are, to use the popular term, deconstructed. I rarely ever do anything straight through. But I won't tell you any more than that!
