Orville Peck<\/u><\/a> is making his way to New York. This March, the country crooner and PAPER<\/em><\/em><\/u><\/a> cover star steps onto the legendary stage at Carnegie Hall for the 38th Annual Tibet House US Benefit Concert<\/a>. With this performance, Peck will be stepping into a lineage of artists who\u2019ve turned one-night-only collaborations into cultural milestones.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the Dalai Lama\u2019s 90th birthday, which is really cool and exciting to be able to perform for,\u201d Peck tells PAPER<\/em>. \u201cBut I\u2019m also really excited that Patti Smith is a part of it. Her band is actually the backing band.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Patti Smith isn\u2019t just another name on the bill for Peck; she\u2019s a personal icon. \u201cHorses<\/em> was the first album I ever bought,\u201d he shares, noting how that seminal record influenced his own work. \u201cI name all my albums horse-related things. So I think it probably had a little bit to do with that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n The Tibet House US Benefit Concert is more than just a lineup of musical heavyweights \u2014 it\u2019s a cultural touchstone that blends activism with artistry. Established in 1989, the event has seen the likes of David Bowie, Philip Glass and Iggy Pop share the stage, all in support of preserving Tibetan culture. This year\u2019s lineup is no less eclectic, featuring legends like Patti Smith and Michael Stipe alongside contemporary icons like Tune-Yards and Arooj Aftab.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For Peck, the concert comes at a pivotal moment. He\u2019s in the middle of packing up his Los Angeles life to move back to New York City, a city he last called home in 2011. But this time, he\u2019s not just returning as a resident \u2014 he\u2019s stepping into one of Broadway\u2019s most iconic roles: the Emcee in Cabaret<\/em>. \u201cI used to do theater growing up and was a dancer professionally, so it\u2019s a role that I always wanted to play,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely a different energy. In Cabaret<\/em>, I\u2019m playing a character. Whereas when I do my regular show, it\u2019s very much about my stories. It\u2019s very, very personal.\u201d<\/p>\n The duality of these two performances \u2014 one rooted in activism and community, the other in theatrical storytelling \u2014 feels poetic. Orville Peck isn\u2019t just moving cities or genres; he\u2019s stepping deeper into the layers of his own artistry, all while keeping the mask firmly in place.<\/p>\n We sat down to chat with Orville about moving to New York and upcoming career highlights. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n How are you, Orville?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m very well, thank you. I\u2019m just in Los Angeles and packing up all my stuff, getting ready to move. <\/p>\n Move to New York City?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah.<\/p>\n Tell me about the new <\/strong>Cabaret <\/em><\/strong><\/em>role and this performance at Tibet House. How did all of this come to be?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, so Cabaret <\/em><\/em>approached me and asked if I would be interested in auditioning for the role of The Emcee. This was probably in the summer of last year. I used to do theater growing up and was a dancer professionally, so it\u2019s a role that I always wanted to play. I was really excited, and I said, “For sure.” So I filmed an audition and sent it in. Then when I was doing my concerts in New York last year, they brought me in to do another audition in front of the creative team, and that\u2019s sort of all that happened. A few months later, they asked me if I wanted to do it. <\/p>\n I see all the <\/strong>Cabaret <\/em><\/strong><\/em>ads on the subway with Adam Lambert. They\u2019re everywhere! Is that gonna be you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah! That\u2019s gonna be me when it changes over. <\/p>\n Is it a different energy that you channel doing Broadway stuff versus doing your own live performances?<\/strong><\/p>\n Definitely. I\u2019m a very theatrical performer in my regular performances as well, but the big difference is in Cabaret <\/em><\/em>I\u2019m playing a character. Whereas when I do my regular show, it\u2019s very much about my stories. It\u2019s very, very personal and about my life. That\u2019s the main difference. I think it\u2019s the same sort of performance energy because I kind of give a bit of that already.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tell me about the Tibet House performance. It seems like such a huge deal.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s very exciting to be asked to do that. It\u2019s the Dalai Lama\u2019s 90th birthday, which is really cool and exciting to be able to perform for. It\u2019s for a good cause. But I\u2019m also really excited that Patti Smith is a part of it. Her band is actually the backing band. I\u2019ve been obsessed with Patti Smith since I was a teenager. Horses <\/em><\/em>is the first album that I ever bought, and I name all my albums horse-related things. So I think it probably had a little bit to do with that as well.<\/p>\n I was gonna ask who else on the lineup you\u2019re most excited to see or interact with.<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, Patti. But also, my friend Allison Russell is performing as well, who I have a song with. We did a duet on my last album, Stampede. <\/em><\/em>I\u2019m excited that she\u2019ll be there, too.<\/p>\n Have you ever lived in New York?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yeah, I lived in New York in 2011 for a while. So it\u2019s been a long time. Obviously a lot has changed since then. I\u2019m very excited to live in New York again, for sure. <\/p>\n You\u2019re a <\/strong>PAPER<\/em><\/strong><\/em> favorite. You obviously did your <\/strong>cover<\/strong><\/u><\/a> last year. What else are you working on right now that fans can be excited about?<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m working on a lot of music. I will be all the time I\u2019m in New York as well. There\u2019s at least one thing in the works, but who knows, maybe more than that. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Photography: Ben Prince<\/a><\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Orville Peck is making his way to New York.
