The Jazz at the Griff series, presented by Trail & District Arts Council, brings you Sound the Alarm’s “Ebony Roots”, on Wednesday, February 25 at 7:30 pm to Celebrate Black History Month.

Ebony Roots is a concert celebration of African Descent/Black music – from 300-year-old spirituals to Motown, and everything in between. It features a journey through Black music representing the evolving emancipation of the African-Descent community from the North American perspective.

This powerful and intimate concert journeys through prison work-songs, passionate spirituals, iconic songs from the stage, to the emergence of Black Soul, R&B, Blues and Motown, including a tribute to some of BC’s legacy artists.

The Artistic Team, as led by Brandon Thornhill and Olaf de Shield, designed this musical journey through Black music to be played by 6 musicians with 2 Vocalists, Keys, Bass, Drums, and Guitar.

This project was produced by Brandon Thornhill with support from Vancouver’s own award-winning company, Sound the Alarm: Music/Theatre (www.soundthealarm.ca) who is known for touring Music of the Night: The Concert Tour and A Whole New World.
