Forget all of the Top 40 songs playing on repeat on your iPod and listen to something new things weekend.
The Grammy Award-winning black female a capella group “Sweet Honey in the Rock” will perform at JMU tomorrow night.
The internationally renowned septet, founded by Bernice Johnson Reagon in 1973, creates music that speaks out against oppression and exploitation and makes a powerful call for justice.
The inspirational lyrics and rhythms of “Sweet Honey in the Rock” are deeply rooted in black tradition and culture. Influenced by an array of genres, this group offers a wide variety for any music lover.
From reggae to jazz, the audience will hear it all. The show begins at 7:30 in Wilson Hall Auditorium.
