Something sacred is crossing the bridge. DVT — the trio of composer Damani Rhodes, vocalist VADIA, and poet Tongo Eisen-Martin — makes its New York City debut at National Sawdust for one night only. What happens when piano keys build cathedrals, a voice moves between shadow and flame, and words cut through silence like light through stained glass? DVT is the answer — a collision of jazz, poetry, and soul that doesn't ask you to listen so much as surrender. Damani Rhodes is a visionary producer and composer whose piano becomes sacred architecture — building the structure that holds everything together in a single, breathing form. VADIA is the voice you feel before you understand, her soulful tones weave through poetry and piano, transforming sound into something that lives in your chest. And Tongo Eisen-Martin , San Francisco's 8th Poet Laureate and American Book Award winner, delivers words that are worlds unto themselves — each phrase a door, each silence a room. Apart, they are forces. Together, they are a frequency. This is not a concert. It is a communion — where composition, voice, and verse dissolve into one another and the audience becomes part of the architecture. DVT's first NYC performance is an invitation to experience music, poetry, and presence on a level that defies category. One night. One room. One breath. // This is a seated performance.
