ABOUT THE SHOW:

This show will invoke the spirit of our African ancestors who streamed from the "Cradle of Humanity" and manifested ALL of us into a thriving future despite attempts of annihilation and erasure. Our ancestors vested us with a power that centers love, joy, hope, soul, determination, creativity, dignity, and shared humanity. It is this power that will indeed help us to navigate the complexities of this moment and enable us to gaze upon and manifest a flourishing, liberated future for all. With this in mind, the show will be a mixed-media installation aimed to inspire hope, human connection and ultimately heal hearts and minds. In the spirit of Sankofa, "Liberation" will draw on the wisdom of the past, to inform the complexities of the present, and ultimately illuminate a future that is inevitable if we stay the course.


ABOUT THE MUSIC

Tre. Charles: The nomadic, self-taught, soul searching troubadour has effectively and dynamically been able to disassemble the idea of an artist needing to be accredited to be accomplished. With an old soul and a fresh perspective, he has cultivated soundscapes and wave therapy on some of the musical worlds biggest stages such as Newport Jazz Festival, TEDx, and NPR while simultaneously staying steadfast in his belief of authentic quality over quantity; and it is with that stance that Charles has acquired cosigns from the likes of GRAMMY AWARD winning artists such as Son Little, Cedric Burnside, and Hip-Hop legends Digable Planets and Arrested Development; of which he has been direct support on a string of sold out shows. The D’angelico Guitars and Supro endorsed Charles’s inquisitive introspection has caught the attention of over 300k listeners across streaming platforms; not to mention the countless listeners he has captivated at venues, festivals, and conferences. His unique sonics have entertained and helped heal those who have listened, and Charles plans to continue that standard with his newest EP, “Here We Are.”, ushering in a new era; elevating his artistry and vision to new heights once again.
