America’s got talent, but Queens has talent and pride. On June 21st, Flushing Town Hall and Terraza 7 Café will celebrate Pride Month with an LGBTQ-themed concert featuring musicians, dancers and other performance artists who were selected via an open call. The two-set lineup includes the Mahina Movement (below), whose members are storytellers, music makers, everything painters and community mover-shakers. Brad Bradley (above, right), whose theater credits include Spamalot and Annie Get Your Gun, will do a set from his one-man show B Squared. St. John’s University student, singer, songwriter, musician and activist Nadia Bourne will share “original work about love, life, and revolution.” Londel Collier, known as “KenJi, will play rhythm and blues related to finding love then losing it. Also set to rock the house are singer, composer, songwriter Marissa Soo and Timothy Mathis, an award-winning songwriter and playwright who penned the musical Sylvia So Far, celebrating the life of transgender pioneer Sylvia Rivera.
