Karma Mayet Johnson: Rootwoman Concerts

Although online sales have ended, tickets will be available for purchase at the door.

Singer/composer Karma Mayet Johnson offers two nights of Roots music for the 21st century, via a sound made of equal parts funk and glitter, Spanish Moss, cornbread and molasses. It's a sonic journey of her roots/routes from Mississippi to Chicago, to D.C. and Brooklyn, gathering Conjure recipes along the way. The two concerts one month apart will feature a different set list for each night.

PERFORMANCES:
Monday, February 1 and Wednesday, March 2 at 8 pm
Tickets: $15
