Talks
Stephanie Phillips (Big Joanie): In Conversation + Book Signing
Rough Trade East London
Stephanie Phillips reframes rock and alternative music history. Her book traces how Black artists like Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Jimi Hendrix didn't just influence these genres, they invented them. This event is a direct conversation about why the mainstream spent decades ignoring that fact entirely.
Rough Trade's hosting it, which is the right venue. Your ticket includes the book, so you're taking something substantial home. It's the kind of talk that changes how you hear records, because it shows you what was always missing from the story.
The question underneath matters: why have Black musicians kept coming back to alternative music when the industry consistently pushed them out? That's what the book wrestles with, and it's worth hearing Phillips unpack it live.
