Combining soul-stirring acappella harmonies with American Sign
Language interpretation, Sweet Honey in the Rock has been entertaining

Firmly rooted in the sacred music of the black church, and committed
to creating music out of the rich textures of African-American legacy
and traditions, Sweet Honey in the Rock possesses a stunning vocal
prowess that captures the complex sounds of the blues, spirituals,
traditional gospel hymns, rap, reggae, African chants, hip-hop,
ancient lullabies and jazz improvisation.
Founded by Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon at the D.C. Black Repertory
Theater, Sweet Honey in the Rock has been a vital and innovative
presence in the music culture of Washington D.C., as well as in
communities around the world. Their biblically-inspired name comes
from Psalm 81:16, which promises that a people will be fed by honey
out of the rock.
Tickets are available from $20 to $45 at http://www.ticketmaster.com
, at any Ticketmaster Outlet or by calling 214.373.8000.
