Touring behind their new CD "Experience 101", Grammy Award winners Sweet Honey In The Rock return to the Paramount Saturday, February 9th, 2008 after a three year absence. Rooted in a deeply held commitment to create music out of the rich textures of African American legacy and traditions, Sweet Honey InThe Rock possesses a stunning vocal prowess that captures the complex sounds of Blues, spirituals, traditional gospel hymns, rap, reggae, African chants, Hip Hop, ancient lullabies, and jazz improvisation. Sweet Honey's collective voice, occasionally accompanied by hand percussion instruments, produces a sound filled with soulful harmonies and intricate rhythms.
In the best and in the hardest of times, Sweet Honey In The Rock has come in song to communities across the U.S. , and around the world raising her voice in hope, love, justice, peace, and resistance. Sweet Honey invites her audiences to open their minds and hearts and think about who we are and what we do to one another and to our fellow creatures on this planet. Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster.
The Seattle performance will be sign language interpreted by Shirley Johnson Saxton.
