Linda Tillery and the Cultural Heritage Choir is a Grammy-nominated, African-American Roots Music ensemble. Through the use of the voice, hands, feet and percussion, the CHC has brought to life many of the long overlooked and appropriated song forms stemming from the African diaspora. The CHC performs ring shouts, work songs, spirituals, children’s play songs, corn field hollers, moans and even modern day funk.

Formed in 1992, they have become world renowned for their breathtaking performances and commitment to the authenticity of African American roots music and music from the African diaspora. Their vocals are soulful and germane, their rhythms are a fusion of southern grit and Caribbean heat!

The group's first collaboration with veteran performers Taj Mahal and Eric Bibb, titled Shakin' A Tailfeather, was nominated for a Grammy (1997) and their second collaborative effort, Hippity Hop, was awarded a Parents' Choice Award (2000). The group's (2003) recording, titled Say Yo' Business, was nominated for a California Music Award.

The cultural heritage choir is Linda Tillery, Rhonda Benin, Bryan Dyer, Zoe Ellis and Javier Navarrette.

This show will also celebrate the long awaited release of Linda’s solo recording Alabama Shoes.
