You’ll hear more than 25 songs like, “Follow the Drinking Gourd,” “Minnie the Moocher,” and “Dancing in the Streets.” You’ll feel moved, elated and inspired. Creator/Director Gary Stanford Jr. leads a phenomenal team of Bay Area performers, including Sumi Cardinale, Sharon Griffiths, Parker Jones, Daniel Marchbanks, Annabelle Terry, Monica Airo, J. Demetrius Olivier, David Lee Hall and Aja Gianola-Norris, who will also play harp. Benjamin Sakaguchi will accompany the performance on piano, and Joe Hudelson will play the drums.
