Come help us celebrate the change in season, the change of things to come. We honor our individual and collective responsibilities in this unprecedented movement as we seek justice for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and those maligned and killed by a deeply rooted and tragically flawed system.

We sing for our future and for Freedom. At a healthy social distance. Come join us.

We'll be featuring the stories and songs of Black sailors in the Underground Railroad throughout the four days of workshops, concerts, hands-on demonstrations, and a scholarly symposium – all celebrating the music of the sea!

Hear heroic tales about the free and enslaved Black men who worked on the waters prior to the Civil War and who helped free their enslaved brethren. Join Newman Taylor Baker (washboard) and me in celebrating them and singing their sea shanties.

"Harlem Field Recordings" is our new CD and it is roots and funky and Americana and fun! We love grooving those good old traditional tunes - and for you to sing along with us. Come on out and join the celebration.

Vienna on vocals, Stanley Banks (George Benson) on bass, Newman Taylor Baker (Joe Henderson, McCoy Tyner, Henry Grimes) on washboards, and Keith Johnston (Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Jon Hendricks) on guitar.
