Stand Up For Something

Gospel music played a significant role in the Civil Rights Movement. Gospel artists took a stand for equal rights and joined with musicians in the folk and popular music genres to share the messages of equality and justice. Once again, in our present day, we look again to what it means to be free, to be reminded that there is still work to do so that all are treated with dignity and respect.

Good Noise will bring the music of the Civil Rights Movement as well as songs of todays artists that speak to standing up for something music by Stevie Wonder, Sting, Andra Day, Common, Marvin Gaye, John Legend, Curtis Mayfield, Sam Cooke and others.

Crystal Hicks again joins Good Noise for this concert. Her passionate and dynamic singing along with her powerful stage presence will bring the music and the message of justice, peace, respect and love and the challenge to all to stand up for something. Let the ways of love be the ways man.
