Irreverent rocker, cabaret singer, actress, author and playwright Storm Large played a string of shows at Joe’s Pub in New York City to celebrate the release of her new album “Le Bonheur,” and photographer Joe Russo was there to capture the action of the Oct. 23 engagement.

“Le Bonheur” (“The Happiness,” in French), released Oct. 7, collects “songs born of French theatrical chanson, jazz standard, heavy metal, smokehouse lounge, and a handful of originals, and stitching them all together into her own singular sonic tapestry to create an unrestrained and impassioned exploration of love, desire, and truth,” according to Large’s website. The tracklist includes everything from Frank Sinatra’s “Lady Is A Tramp” to Black Sabbath’s “N.I.B.” Large is also a co-lead vocalist for the band Pink Martini.
