Sweet Honey in the Rock
Over the past four decades the Grammy-Award nominated group Sweet Honey In The Rock has raised her voice in hope, love, justice, peace and resistance. With stunning vocal prowess, the all woman, a-cappella group is rooted in a deeply held commitment to create music out of the rich textures of African American legacy and traditions and is critically acclaimed worldwide.
Sweet Honey In The Rock invites audiences to open their minds and hearts through their music; an adventurous and diverse mixture of blues, African, jazz, gospel and R&B, to think about who we are and how we treat each other, our fellow creatures who share this planet and of course the planet itself.
Established as a quartet in 1973 in Washington, DC the ladies have performed in Nairobi and Beijing at the UN World Conference on Women, toured Europe, Japan and Africa and will perform in Sydney this July following performances at Hobart’s Festival of Voices and in Melbourne.
