Welcome to Night Vale with Musical Guest Dessa

Welcome to Night Vale is the wildly popular bi-monthly podcast in the style of community updates for the strange, small desert town of Night Vale, featuring local weather, news, announcements from the Sheriff’s Secret Police, mysterious lights in the sky, dark hooded figures with unknowable powers and cultural events. Delivering rich and nuanced drama in the form of a community radio show hosted by Cecil Palmer (played by Cecil Baldwin), Welcome to Night Vale has grown to be one of the most popular podcasts in the world while remaining fiercely independent, entirely listener supported and ad-free. Welcome to Night Vale is written by Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor. Narrated by Cecil Baldwin. Music by Disparition and logo by Rob Wilson.

Since 2013 Welcome to Night Vale has been touring fully-realized live shows with guest stars, live musical guests, and Cecil himself, creating an experience that complements and enhances the constantly evolving narrative of the podcast, while still remaining funny and compelling for brand new listeners. Over the past 18 months, they’ve played sold out rooms in the U.S., Canada and Europe, attracting a diverse fanbase that hangs on Cecil’s every word (often while dressed as their favorite Night Vale resident). Welcome to Night Vale’s Ponte Vedra Concert Hall stop will feature live musical guest Dessa.

“Incredible, spooky, funny and monumentally charming.” – BoingBoing

“Cecil Baldwin is outstanding in live performance: his whole body becomes a part of the action, and he becomes so much more than a soothing, lovely voice emanating from my speakers.” – xoJane
