Sweet Honey In The Rock

Join Washington, D.C.-based, African-American a cappella ensemble, Sweet Honey in the Rock for an MLK Day Celebration: Reclaiming the Beloved Community. With six-part harmonies and sign language interpretation, Sweet Honey’s sound ranges from African to Blues to Gospel and Jazz. Throughout their sterling career, the ensemble has used their art form and their voices to defend civil rights, social justice, equality and freedom for all. Their messages of hope, resilience, and new beginnings feel particularly significant this year and come just days before the inauguration.

The show will feature an exciting lineup of special guests including Kiki Shepard, Keith David, Mumu Fresh, Azar Lawrence and Wycliffe Gordon.

The three-time Grammy Award-nominated and internationally renowned group will perform songs from the group’s extensive repertoire, which includes “We Are,” “Let There Be Peace,” “The Women Gather,” and “Come Ye.”

Since 1973, Sweet Honey has empowered and inspired with songs about a range of social issues, blending potent themes with gorgeous artistry to stir the mind and the soul.

Currently consisting of members Carol Maillard, Louise Robinson, Nitanju Bolade Casel, Aisha Kahlil, Rochelle Rice, Christie Dashiell and featuring Romeir Mendez on upright acoustic bass and electric bass. This performance will include American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, Barbara Hunt.
