EBONY ROOTS
Sound the Alarm Theatre
ABOUT THE SHOW
Ebony Roots is a concert celebration of African Descent/Black music – from 300 year old spirituals to Motown, and everything in between. It features a journey through Black music representing the evolving emancipation of the African-Descent community from the North American perspective. This powerful and intimate musical experience features prison/work songs, passionate spirituals, iconic songs from the stage, to the emergence of Black Soul, R&B, Blues, and Motown.
This project was produced by Brandon Thornhill with support from Vancouver’s own award-winning company, Sound the Alarm: Music/Theatre (www.soundthealarm.ca) who is known for touring Music of the Night: The Concert Tour and A Whole New World.
