Mx. Justin Vivian Bond’s Dendrophile CD Now Available for Download and Purchase

Mx. Justin Vivian Bond – or simply “V” in lieu of he/she or him/her – has released a debut solo album, Dendrophile. This recording is now available for digital download and purchase.


Dendrophile incorporates a range of material that Bond has performed, including a song from John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus, in which V starred; a Karen Carpenter song that Bond performed in V’s internationally acclaimed Justin Bond Is Close to You; and material from Bond’s recent performance Re:Galli Blonde, an evening of music and spectacle inspired by the Order of Galli, a group of gendervariant priests and priestesses from ancient times. Other tracks on the recording feature V’s interpretations of songs associated with Nina Simone, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell.

Perhaps best known as one-half of the performance duo Kiki and Herb, Bond has toured the world, headlining Carnegie Hall twice. V starred in the Tony-nominated Broadway show Kiki and Herb Alive on Broadway and in the Off-Broadway Coup de Theatre. More recently V has directed and starred in Christmas Spells at Abrons Arts Center, Re:Galli Blonde (A Sissy Fix) at the Kitchen, and Lustre at P.S. 122. In addition, Bond’s U.K. toured included a run at London’s Soho Theatre.
