Born in Cleveland in 1953, Baby Dee’s life has followed a circuitous path, from Catholic Church organist to Coney Island sideshow attraction, from harp-wielding, tricycle-riding street performer to cabaret recording artist. The classically trained transgender harpist has mined both her curious life and her exhaustive knowledge of the Western musical canon to create inventive, emotionally rich music that’s nearly impossible to classify. Dee first garnered critical attention in 2008 with the Will Oldham-produced Safe Inside the Day; her latest, Regifted Light, sees her banging and caressing the keys of a grand piano that once belonged to album-producer Andrew WK, creating a set of mainly instrumental tunes that are beautiful, affecting and lasting. At 8 p.m. at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, 4454 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-832-6622; $8; with the Scavenger Quartet.
