Rev. Sekou & Tracy Howe, March 4th at The Haven

Rev. Sekou is joined by the Nashville blues band, The Freedom Fighters on his national tour celebrating the release of his live album, Live At The Shell, recorded last July in Memphis, TN. Monday March 4th will bring to life a sacred convening in Charlottesville, VA, a city where Sekou lived and trained people during the infamous summer of hate, 2017. The show will start with a set by local artist Tracy Howe, releasing her album, Things That Grow. Things That Grow is a project born out of movement work and radically changing life circumstances of the last 5 years. This evening of music will be sure to fill listeners with healing, fire and courage, and call us all to sing and fill the streets.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $20 at the door. Attendees are also encouraged to give to ongoing work in the area through donating to any or all of the following:
