“Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert is magnificent! I want to send to the folks who do the Nobel Prize for Literature. I don’t know them, but I want them to read this!” —Whoopi Goldberg

“It’s a knockout.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“An emotional exploration of religion, external and internalized homophobia, the pressure of progressing Black liberation, and the importance of revisiting the past.” —New York magazine

From RuPaul’s Drag Race winner, Traitors contestant, and host of HBO’s We’re Here comes an inventive, wondrous novel about American hero Harriet Tubman that remixes history into a fresh, dynamic novel about love, freedom, salvation, and hip-hop.

In an age of miracles where our greatest heroes from history have magically, unexplainably returned to shake us out of our confusion and hate, Harriet Tubman is back, and she has a lot to say.

Harriet Tubman and four of the enslaved persons she led to freedom want to tell their story in a unique way. Harriet wants to create a hip-hop album and live show about her life, and she needs a songwriter to help her.

She calls upon Darnell, a once successful hip-hop producer who was topping the charts before being outed on a BET talk show. Darnell has no idea what to expect when he steps into the studio with Harriet, only that they have a short period of time to write a legendary album she can take on the road. Over the course of their time together, they not only create music that will take the country by storm, but confront the horrors of both their pasts, and learn to find a way to a better future.

Original, evocative, and historic, Harriet Tubman: Live in Concert is a landmark achievement that will burrow deep into our hearts (and ears).©2025 Bob the Drag Queen (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio African American Literature & Fiction Heartfelt Funny Inspiring Witty Thought-Provoking

Bob the Drag Queen truly exceeded my expectations when it came to this book. This was an excellent way of weaving a modern journey of a character with the real experiences of a historical figure. It both moved me and taught me very relatable and meaningful lessons. Almost like a podcast, it allowed me to take in the emotion and experiences of all characters in the story in a more intimate way than what I was expecting. This book has made me experience a spectrum of emotions from start to finish and I do not regret it at all. I look forward to seeing more works from Bob and encourage everyone to get a taste of history told from Bob’s captivating and intelligent writing style. I am no stranger to giving tens where tens are due.

A moving history lesson and engaging story telling

Bob, you are incredible. This was insightful, emotional and unexpected in the best way. This novel is a work of art.

Tackling stories about slavery, religion and queerness with such honesty, tact and respect. Bob does not shy away from addressing these horrors of history and yet it’s written in such a creative framework that it appeals to many types of readers.

I’m so grateful this story exists. Thank you for bringing it to the world.

Profound Work, Highly Recommend!!

I could listen to Bob narrate anything. Hearing him tell the historical tale of his hero, with the twist of bringing her back to modern times was such an interesting story. His passion really came through on this project.

This is possibly the only recording of Bob where someone edited out the clearing throat sniff he does all the time

This is a brilliantly unique storytelling approach to a story we’re all familiar with… and a woman we “think” we know. I enjoyed it top to bottom. Bridging the gap of what “freedom” means. Powerful.

Unique, Informative & Entertaining

This book was absolutely fantastic - I love Bob’s down-to-earth writing style, it really feels like you’re in the room with these wonderful characters and the legendary Harriet Tubman❤️‍🔥 The music in the audiobook made me so glad I decided to listen to this, and I will also definitely be purchasing a paper copy because I adored this book.
Bob has a great voice and his narration was EXCELLENT, I really loved this book and would highly recommend it. It’s a solemn story in moments, but so so critical, especially at this moment in history. Thank you for sharing this with us Bob, it’s truly a powerful, thought provoking delight.❤️

What an experience!
